Wavelength calibration in high resolution spectroscopy is a key issue for the delivery of high quality science data. ESO and MPQ have agreed to develop a wavelength calibration unit demonstrator based on a Laser Frequency Comb, which in comparison with current standards will significantly improve calibration data. The status and next milestones are summarized.
