1.4 Cycle 14 WFPC2 Calibration Plan


The overall goals of the Cycle 14 WFPC2 Calibration Programs are to monitor health and safety of the instrument, and to maintain required calibration accuracies for the science modes used in Cycle 14. The use of 2-gyro mode in starting in Cycle 14 has had some impact on the scheduling of routine monitor observations and decontaminations. Decontamination procedures are performed every 45-60 days, but monitor observations are sometimes omitted when GRW+70D5824 is unavailable. Table 1.1 shows the Cycle 14 Calibration Plan.
