1. 2015 Dec 15 ( 2 mo): Apogees around 6UT (MMS 12MLT, Phase 1a / THEMIS 23MLT).Northern winter. Europe on dayside, North America on nightside
2. 2016 Jun 29 ( 2 mo): Apogees around 15:30UT (THEMIS 12MLT / MMS 23MLT, Phase 1x).Southern winter. South Pole on dayside, Australia on nightside
3. 2017 Jan 12 ( 2 mo): Apogees around 6UT (MMS 12MLT, Phase 2a / THEMIS 23MLT).Northern winter. Europe on dayside, North America on nightside
4. 2017 Jul 22 ( 2 mo): Apogees around 6UT (THEMIS 12MLT / MMS 24MLT, Phase 2b).Southern winter. North America on nightside
South Pole on dayside, Australia on nightside

[Angelopouos et al., 2009] More ground observatories are coming and fill the gaps.

The proposed coordination will maximize the use of Heliophysics System Observatory (HSO), and will provide opportunities for global space-ground observations simultaneously.
This will open a new door to connect dayside, polar cap and nightside phenomena that have traditionally been discussed separately. e.g., Reconnection, Fast flow channels, Auroral brightening (PMAF/PBI)
Intense collaborations between space and ground communities are essential to make this campaign successful. If we missed any key groups or instruments, please let us know.
