Abstract
We present a plan to address the calibration needs of the Wide Field Instrument (WFI) on the Wide Field Infrared Space Telescope (WFIRST), for on on-orbit observations and ground testing. The science mission of WFI is based on a combination of large surveys, a Guest Observer program, and a strong archival research program. The WFIRST Science Requirements Document delineates several data quality and calibration requirements for the Mission. The Calibration Plan aims to be prescriptive and predictive, discussing which observations will be needed and estimating the total time required to carry out such observations. We discuss these requirements from an instrumental perspective, and identify the measurements, observations, and analysis steps needed to achieve the desired calibration and data quality levels, especially in terms of on-orbit observations..
