12 Calibration strategy Internal calibration The goal is to provide an internally consistent flux scale all through the mission, across the focal plane, and for bright and faint sources. This is achieved by calibrating the relative variations of the instrument through the comparison of observations at different positions of the focal plane and different epochs for a set of reference sources. Bologna, 18,19 February 216

This is achieved by calibrating the relative variations of the instrument through the comparison of observations at different positions of the focal plane and different epochs for a set of reference sources. External calibration The aim of the external calibration is to determine the characteristics of the mean instrument by using a suitable number of spectrophotometric standard stars (SPSS) whose absolute spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are known with great accuracy from ground observations Bologna, 18,19 February 216
