Scientific paper

The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) is scheduled for repair in August 2008 during HST's Servicing Mission 4. The repair will replace the CCD Electronics Box and Low Voltage Power Supply, restoring the two CCD cameras to full operation. Along with the Solar Blind Channel, which is currently still active, the ACS will have three fully functional detectors available for use in Cycle 17 science programs. In this poster, we present the Servicing Mission Orbital Verification Plan which will verify the health and safety of the instrument (via the engineering, target acquisition, and optical alignment requirements) and which will provide improved calibration data (via the standard calibration programs).
