The Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) ground calibration program, easily the most extensive in the history of high energy astrophysics, requires careful attention to the verification of its validity for on-orbit operations of the observatory. The purpose of the Flight Contamination Monitor (FCM) is to verify the transfer of the AXAF absolute flux scale calibration from ground to on-orbit operations and to measure or bound any changes in molecular contamination on the AXAF mirrors. This paper reports the current status of the analysis of FCM measurements taken during ground calibration. The FCM measurements during the AXAF activation phase will be the first look at the on-orbit AXAF performance.
