TheOzone Monitoring Instrument is an UV-Visible imaging spectrograph using two-dimensionalCCD detectors to register both the spectrum and the swathperpendicular to the flight direction. This allows having a wideswath (114 degrees) combined with a small ground pixel (nominally13 x 24 km²). The instrument is planned for launchon NASA"s EOS-AURA satellite in January 2004. The on-ground calibrationmeasurement campaign of the instrument was performed May-October 2002, datais still being analyzed to produce the calibration key dataset. The paper highlights selected topics from the calibration campaign,the radiometric calibration, spectral calibration including a new method toaccurately calibrate the spectral slitfunction and results from the zenithsky measurements and gas cell measurements that were performed withthe instrument.
