Target Field Simulation Testbed• 1 1/2 year project to deliver images containg real
detector effects and simulated NGST stellar images based on STScI catalog query
• Images will be delivered to NASA for use in the NGST wavefront sensing and control simulators at JPL and GSFC
• Status: on schedule for 2Q02 completion, first detector data to be obtained 2Q01
