17 | | - We will perform the test in 3 seeing conditions -0", 0.5", and 0.8". |
18 | | - For the shaped pupil, we can not create the same conditions as nighttime. However, a best-case scenario will be tested and compared with the results with simulations matching these conditions. |
19 | | - we have five masks to be tested. Each mask test is expected to take 3 hours of testing. |

| 18 | - For the shaped pupil, we can not create the same conditions as nighttime due to the absence of ASM obstruction and spiders. However, a best-case scenario will be tested and compared with the results of simulations matching these conditions. |
| 19 | - We have five coronagraphs to be tested, each of them featuring at least one mask in the pupil plane and one in the focal plane. For each coronagraph, we run the alignment procedures for all its masks and then we take a set of images (usually ten images with the full coronagraphic train and 10 images out-of-coronagraph, meaning without the focal plane mask) to measure the achieved raw contrast. Each coronagraph test is expected to take 3 hours of testing. |
