Recent developments in far ultraviolet technology have advanced the state of the art in FUV instrumentation notably in the area of space flight experiments. In this paper, we report on a significant advance in far ultraviolet calibration technology which makes it possible to take full advantage of the improved instrumentation. A new far ultraviolet diffusive source has been developed which is capable of calibrating every pixel of an 8 degree field of view imaging camera to better than 10% absolute accuracy throughout the far ultraviolet wavelength region.
