Calibration Results and Products

During the development, assembly, and testing of ACS, data are being obtained to characterize the performance of the instrument and its components and to provide ground calibration products that will serve as in-flight references. Here we present some of the results from the analysis of these data. Some of these are preliminary and will require further work before being turned into official documentation. Please contact the ACS calibration team for further information and clarification.

The results are organized in the following categories :

By calibration item

By software method

By calibration campaign :

• Servicing Mission Functional Test (SMFT)
• Thermal Balance and Vacuum Campaign 3 : TB/TV 3 (Jun-Jul 2001)
• Pre- and Post-Acoustics Alignment (WFC and HRC, Mar-Apr 2001)
• Cooling Hardware Electrical Systems Test (CHEST)
