Verify that the line_5: stray light tolerance (23rd magnitude/square arcsec at the line_6: focal plane) is met with the present viewing limits line_7: established for the sun (>50 degrees), moon (>15 degrees) line_8: and the bright earth limb (>80 degrees) from the line_9: OTA axis. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: BELY fname: PIERRE inst: ST SCI country: USA esa: Y ! lname: LUPIE fname: OLIVIA inst: ST SCI country: USA ! lname: STOCKMAN fname: PETER inst: ST SCI country: USA esa: Y ! lname: JAYROE fname: ROBERT inst: MSFC country: USA ! lname: LUBENOW fname: ANDY inst: ST SCI country: USA ! ! end of general_form_proposers block general_form_text: question: 2 section: 1 line_1: ****Test Description: line_3: In order to realize the full potential of HST for the line_4: detection of faint astronomical sources, stray light must be line_5: negligible. Extensive study and modelling resulted in the line_6: state of the art baffling system on HST. Testing the effectiveness line_7: of the system is not practical on the ground prior to launch. This line_8: test will measure the overall effectiveness of the off-axis line_9: rejection capability of bright sources at large angles line_10: while in orbit and verify the 'level-1' stray light requirement. line_12: Estimated test duration: line_13: Total exposure time= 3 hours, Total w/overhead= 5.5 hours. ! question: 3 section: 1 line_1: Use WFC in 2x2 SUM mode as an area photometer to measure the line_2: scattered light background in several filters and at several line_3: distances from the full moon and at 50 degrees from the sun line_4: but 3 different roll orientations. line_5: 1) OFFSETS FROM THE FULL MOON: A series of exposures in combinations of line_6: filters VUV,U,V,and R filters at each of four offset line_7: pointings: 4,8,20, and 30 degrees. line_8: 2) OFFSETS FROM NEW MOON (two weeks later): at SAME POINTING as (1), line_9: repeat the 20 and 30 degree exposures for background subtraction. line_10: No background exposures are needed for the line_11: 4 and 8 degree offsets because of the brightness of the stray light. ! question: 3 section: 2 line_1: WFC CCDs must be preflashed before all low light-level exposures. line_2: WPC UV flooding is required prior to the start of the test but line_3: not during any portion of the test. The quantum efficiency line_4: during this test should be worse than 90% that at the time of the line_5: flood. Purges are included for those frames with t_exp => 1000S line_6: for possible over-exposure by spurious stars. Special line_7: Requirement SEQ NO GAP is used for those groups of exposures line_8: containing a purge to insure the purge line_9: occurs at end of sequence; otherwise 'GROUP' is acceptable. ! question: 3 section: 3 line_1: *****TEST STEPS - Easy to Read summary of Exposures: line_2: WFPC Configuration: IMAGE,ALL,2x2 SUM Mode. line_4: ***SEQUENCE 1 - OFFSETS FROM FULL MOON ***** line_6: Exp line 10: Preflash, 4 deg, VUV F284W, exp time 200s. line_7: Exp line 11: 4 deg, UV F336W, exp time 140s. line_8: Exp line 12: 4 deg, V F569W, exp time 10s. line_9: Exp line 13: 4 deg, R F675W, exp time 10s. line_10: Exp line 20: Preflash, 8 deg, VUV F284W, exp time 400s. line_11: Exp line 21: 8 deg, UV F336W, exp time 100s. line_12: Exp line 22: 8 deg, V F569W, exp time 60s. line_13: Exp line 23: 8 deg, R F675W, exp time 30s. line_15: Exp line 30: Preflash, 20 deg, R F675W, exp time 200s. line_16: Exp line 31: Preflash, 20 deg, V F569W, exp time 400s. line_17: Exp line 32: Preflash, 20 deg, UV F336W, exp time 1000s, Purge. line_18: Exp line 40: Preflash, 30 deg, V F569W, exp time 1260s, Purge. ! question: 3 section: 4 line_1: SEQUENCE 2 NEW MOON BACKGROUNDS line_3: Exp line 50: Preflash, 20 deg, R F675W, exp time 200s. line_4: Exp line 51: Preflash, 20 deg, V F569W, exp time 400s. line_5: Exp line 52: Preflash, 20 deg, UV F336W, exp time 1000s,purge. line_6: Exp line 60: Preflash, 30 deg, V F569W, exp time 1260s,purge. line_7: SEQUENCE 3 OFFSET FROM SUN ! question: 4 section: 1 line_1: Submitted as an Observatory Level Test ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: SCHEDULING REQUIREMENTS: line_3: 1 - GYRO Tracking. line_8: 3 - UV FLOOD Required prior to test; WFC quantum efficiency 90% that line_9: at time of UV flood. line_10: 4 - Because of long exposures, schedule test after TEC turn-on. line_11: 5 - Exp Lines 10-40 require Full Moon (+/- 0.5 days) line_12: 6 - Exp Lines 50-60 require New Moon (+/- 4.0 days).
