Scientific paper

This test defines a coherent program designed to quantitatively measure and map out the diffractive and scattered energy rejection of occulted targets to improve the target/background contrast ratios by use of the NICMOS coronagraph. The performance levels of system will be assessed while exploring the observational parameter spaces and execution strategies which undoubtedly will be proposed for use in HST Cycle 11. This test is constructed in four parts with different, but complementary, Taken together they will provide critical information needed to re-evaluate the coronagraphic systemic performance from which flight {and possibly ground} S/W updates, and advisories to observers defining Phase 2 proposals will be issued.
