Scientific paper

We review potential impacts of deleting the HITM calibration sub-system from STIS. The primary impact is increased wear on the CIM mechanism which it is estimated will experience an additional 18000 cycles in 5 years. Failure of this mechanism would leave STIS unable to observe at all if the CIM failed to move out of the beam, or, with no means of wavelength calibration and MAMA flat fielding, which would severely limit the science that could be done with STIS.
