It is not possible to support this campaign on Jan 11 and 14 due to the orbit, but there are excellent viewing conditions for Jan 12 and 15, and we have DSN real-time support. The viewing on the 13th may be OK. Hopefully this should not cause you too many problems. Sorry for the inconvenience - I misread the dates of the campaign when I was doing the planning before going to AGU - but then stress probably had something to do with that !!
