Mini-ambient Results

Mini-ambient results

Just prior to TV1 testing, WFC3 underwent a limited set of tests with the instrument under ambient conditions. We referred to this testing as "mini-ambient".

UVIS Detector Oddities found during mini-ambient

TV1 Results

TV1 testing used the flight UVIS detector (build 1), but a backup IR detector (FPA64).

Below is a list of ISRs supplying TV1 test results.
