The goal of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission is to perform a highly sensitive all-sky survey in 4 wavebands from 3 to 25 μm. Launched on a Delta II rocket into a 500 km Sun-synchronous orbit in November 2009, during its 7 months of operations, the cryogenically cooled WISE instrument will map the entire sky to obtain an astronomical source catalogue and image atlas.
In this paper we present initial results from the on-going ground characterization program of WISE and how they relate to the overall calibration plan, which describes calibration activities, test and analysis efforts for all mission phases: prelaunch, In-Orbit Checkout (IOC), survey, and post-flight.
