Scientific paper

We describe the anticipated software tool development requirements for ACS for the period November 2001 to mid-2002, a period which is expected to include the installation of ACS on HST. The highest priority is to complete the present phase of development and ensure correct functionality of calacs and PyDrizzle as applied to ACS data. New tools to support ACS include: those needed for provision of calibration reference files; astrometric utilities for image registration; and flux calibration of ramp filter observations. As experience is gained with real ACS data, we envision upgrades to the handling of data quality information and cosmic ray flagging. Iterative requirements for PyDrizzle in stand-alone mode will also be helpful. Given the uncertainties of a new instrument, contingency time is crucial.
