The spatial response of the PSPC has been calibrated; residual position errors of 2.5'' will remain and are likely to be unimportant in the overall error budget. The attitude solution is specified to 12'' in the survey mode. For weak sources (i.e., sources with counts), 1 error radii <25'' due to the photon statistics are expected, while for strong sources the uncertainty in source location will presumably be determined by the uncertainty in the aspect solution.
