Overall science planning
(Note the text in red highlights adjustments still to be made. No red text indicates a final decision was made.)
Overall objectives:
Cross-calibration with Earth-based assets (Sun-Earth line crossing).
High-resolution observations around the perihelion of 10 April 2023 (0.29 au).
Slow-wind connection science.
Coordinated science campaigns:
Closest distance (0.29 au) is reached on 10 April 2023.
On 17 April 2023 SO will be in quadrature with Earth and radially aligned with PSP at 0.7 au.
(Note: pVSTP means that the pointings will be decided a few days before the observations during the pointing decision meetings.)

2023-06-21: Parker Solar Probe Quadrature: Pointing to West limb for context to PSP perihelion and quadrature on 22 June 03:45 and 8:38 resp. SOOP Coordinator: A. Zhukov
Detailed pointings
The table below lists the times at which the spacecraft pointing will change, and the type of target that we will point at.
Pointings that are already fixed are highlighted in green. The other pointings will be updated latest 48hours in advance of the actual observations.
Definition of pointings:
POINT_CENTRE = pointing is at disk center for Solar Orbiter
POINT_FEATURE = a specific target followed by Solar Orbiter
POINT_PATTERN = pointing that follows a certain pattern (e.g. mosaic)
Those pointings which stay on a fixed coordinate on the Sun for Solar Orbiter (e.g. POINT_CENTRE) will of course drift with respect to the Earth's perspective because of the relative motion of spacecraft. For that reason, coordinates and times at the start and end of those pointings are also included in the table below.
| START TIME (Solar Orbiter) | END TIME | START TIME (Earth) | END TIME (Earth) | TYPE OF POINTING | POINTING COORDINATES at START
| POINTING COORDINATES at END
| POINTING COORDINATES at START (Helioprojective cartesian, arcsec) | POINTING COORDINATES at END (Helioprojective cartesian, arcsec) | POINTING DECISION DAY | METIS OBSERVATIONS | COMMENTS, SCIENCE OBJECTIVES | SOOP COORDINATORS |

Table to the detailed timeline
Context Solar Orbiter orbit during this time
Plots are in GSE (geocentric solar ecliptic) coordinates, so Earth is at [0,0], the Sun is at [1,0]. The plot is the projection of the orbit on the ecliptic plane.
