This chapter describes the calibration accuracy we aim to reach prior to Cycle 13. Since the NCS-operated NICMOS represents a new instrument, a full suite of calibrations have been carried out during Cycles 10, 11 and 12 to characterize the instrument performance under the new operating conditions. The plans and goals for Cycle 13 are described in this chapter.
