1.5 Cycle 15 + 16 WFPC2 Calibration Plan


It is anticipated that WFPC2 will be de-orbited during SM4 which is nominally scheduled for December 2007. Here we summarize the WFPC2 calibration plans for its remaining time on-orbit, which covers Cycles 15 and 16 together. This calibration plan is essentially identical to that for Cycle 14, though it covers a longer time period. Since there is some uncertainty about the schedule for SM4, we have included 2 years worth of monitor observations in this plan, so as to allow for various contingencies. The Cycle 15 + 16 Calibration Plan is summarized in Table 1.2 .
