Here are the POLAR plans for Sept 25-30, 1997. Please note that this is
only a 6 day plan as the orbit and footprints for Polar are not available
for October as yet, so next weeks plans will cover 8 days !!

  There is another WIND perigee pass (~15 Re downstream) on day 273 and
Geotail is also passing through the central tail region at about 10 Re. 

  In addition there is a particularly good period for studying the solar
wind orientation and structures in front of the magnetopause with WIND,
IMP-8 and GEOTAIL all close to the nose at various Y-values - days 270-272.
