Cumulative coverage of all Callisto spectrometer locations (left), assuming all instruments are working and all antennas are tracking the sun. In fact both is not the case. Therfore it makes sense to have some redundancy. We still have small gaps (white areas left) in winter season between 16 UT and 20 UT and also around 1 UT again in winter-season (related to northern side of the world).
Triangles: data o.k.
Stars: no data yet
