SMM Calibration

<HR size=6>

The calibration of SMM data is documented in this paper.  The figures and cover page are in this directory.

The SMM instrumental stray light and vignetting functions are available in graphic form and software is available to reproduce these graphics.

The f-corona model (the scanned technote), used for SMM, was developed by Munro, R. and modified for the Skylab mission.  Software is provided to reproduce this graphic.

The Solar Maximum Mission Coronagraph/Polarimenter was designed & operated by the High Altitude Observatory (HAO), a division of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The SMM Coronagraph/Polarimeter instrument was built by Ball Aerospace Systems Division (BASD).

The SMM Spacecraft was built by Goddard Space Flight Center ( GSFC), and the SMM project was funded & managed by the National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA).
