Of some interest, this is the proposed imaging breakdown by time:

   2.0 % observation calibration
   4.9 % instrument calibration
   7.9 % solar system (comets, asteroids, kuiper belt objects, etc)
  16.1 % exoplanets
  17.2 % nearby galaxies
  20.4 % galactic (debris disks, etc)
  31.5 % distant galaxies and cosmology

There's a whole huge breakdown of what instrumentation calibration entails: https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/about-jwst/history/science-operat...

This doc was drafted in 2012, and so this might've already changed or will be: https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/about/history/science-operations-...
