The Chandra Calibration Review (CCR) is held in order to disseminate and advance our understanding of the performance and capabilities of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. It is intended to share the Chandra teams' knowledge of the detectors, gratings, mirrors, and aspect system with the community while encouraging participation and feedback in the process of calibrating the observatory. Reports are solicited on various aspects of Chandra calibration. In 2009, the CCR was held Sep 21 at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, MA, preceeding the Chandra's First Decade of Discovery symposium held Sep 22-25 at the same location. Conference proceedings are available here.

Proceedings from previous years are available here: [2007] [2005] [2004] [2003] [2002]
