The process of correcting for the effect of the variation in the sensitivity of the WFPC2 with field position is known as flat-fielding, or flattening. ... Instead, several assets are available to estimate the flat field and monitor any changes -- these include pre-launch SLTV optical stimulus flats, Earth flats, calibration channel flats (VISFLATS), and internal flats (INTFLATS). ... There are also two types of on-board flats available in WFPC2, which can be used to monitor changes in the flat field. ...
ST-ECF Instrument Science Report ACS-2008-01 Updated flux calibration and fringe modelling for the ACS/WFC G800L grism H. Kuntschner, M. KЭmmel, J. R. Walsh January 25, 2008 ABS TRACT A revised flux calibration is presented for the G800L grism with the ACS Wide Field Channel. ... We also include in this report an extensive investigation into the potential effects of fringing on the flux calibration based on the WFC CCDs fringing model as described in ST-ECF ISR ACS 2003-03 (Walsh et al. ...

... The science from both these missions contributed to three of the Nobel Prizes Giacconi (2002), Mather, and Smoot (2006) - awarded for NASA-based science. ... We encourage NASA to seek new launch capabilities to fill this strategic gap in moderate lift rockets to enable the Explorer program to continue launching missions with significant science payoff but reduced costs and timescales compared to large strategic missions. ... 18 Appendix B: Explorer Missions 1989-present (From PILMSS) No . ...
