                               DAILY REPORT #800

PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST 01/08/93 - 0800 EST 01/11/93

Daily Status Report as of 011/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed GHRS/2 4217 (Absorption Cross sections of Nearby Galaxies)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make a single spectral
       observation of quasar 1341+258. The metal absorption lines in the
       quasar are thought to arise from matter associated with intervening
       galaxies. The observations was received and displayed. The spectrum
       was weak, which was expected because the target was very faint. 

   1.2 Completed PC 4084 (Globular Cluster Cores, GTO Augmentation)

       The Planetary Camera was used to take eight U-band images of the
       core of globular cluster NGC-5272 (aka, M-3 located in Canus
       Venatici). All of the images were received and displayed. They all
       were reported to look okay. 

   1.3 Completed FOC/48 4740 (Intensifier HV Test)

       The high voltage was brought up on the Faint Object Camera (f/48)
       for the first time since the intensifier high voltage anomaly of
       Sept. 17,1992. The high voltage was turned on just before LOS. At
       the AOS the high voltage was off. It was not clear what the problem
       was. An HSTAR was written. Seven observations were received and
       displayed. They all were blank because the high voltage went off
       shortly after it came on. (See Operations Note 2.4)

   1.4 Completed PC 4140 (Rapid Internal Monitor)

       The Planetary Camera was used to take two internal flat images to be
       used to check for new forms of contamination. Both images were
       received and displayed in the OSS. They both were reported to look
       okay. 

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of HSP/UV2/POL 3234 (X-Ray Binaries)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make make both photometric and
       polarimetric observations of the x-ray binary star HD77581 (aka,
       Vela XR-1). 18 observations were taken on the first set. They ware
       all received and displayed. Most of them looked okay, four of them
       had short term fluctuations significantly higher than the background
       noise level. This was apparently due to spacecraft jitter associated
       with a terminator crossing. 

       The second set of 18 observations were also received and displayed.
       The first two images were target acquisition images, and showed the
       target well centered. The following observations looked good, but
       two images were filed as bad because they had some short term
       fluctuations similar to those in the first set. 

   1.6 Completed HSP/UV2 3255 (Optical Variability Associated with Black 
       Holes)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to try and obtain high rate
       ultraviolet photometry observations of x-ray binary star A0620-00
       whose companion is a suspected black hole. The target acquisition
       images were blank. The time series data had low counts. 

   1.7 Completed WFC 1306 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make some low latitude
       observations in parallel with the prime science observations. All
       observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They were all
       reported to be nominal. 

   1.8 Completed FOS/RD 4212 (Internal Wave Length Calibration)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to obtain wave length
       calibration images using every dispenser-detector combination. All
       observations used internal sources. The observations were received
       and displayed, and all were reported to be okay. 

   1.9 Completed Two Sets of FOC/96 4107 (Search for QSOs Suitable for 
       Subsequent Observations) 

       The Faint Object Camera was used to try and obtain images of three
       faint quasars (i.e., 1013+00, 0307+0222, and 0058-276B) to see if
       they had sufficient ultraviolet flux for future observations. The
       observations were received and displayed, however, they were all
       reported to be blank. 

   1.10 Completed FOC/96 3801 (Search to QSOs Suitable for Observation)

       The Faint Object Camera Was used to make one ultraviolet observation
       of faint high red shift quasar 0938+199. The observations was
       received and displayed. The image was blank. 

   1.11 Completed FOC/96 4075 (Magellanic Cloud Planetary Nebulae)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make a single image of the
       planetary nebula SMC-N67 located in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The
       image will be used to measure its diameter. The image was reported
       to look good. 
 
   1.12 Completed FOS/BL 4110 (The Physics of Massive O Stars)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make six observations of
       massive OB class star SK67D211 which is located in the Large
       Magellanic Cloud. Ultraviolet spectral observations were taken from
       1150 to 2300 A0. All six observations were reported to look okay. 

   1.13 Completed WFC 1297 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to take a series of four high
       latitude images in parallel with the prime science observations. All
       four of the images were reported to look okay. 

   1.14 Completed WFC 4105 (HST Medium Deep Survey: High Latitude)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to take a single image as part of a
       basic medium-deep sky survey taken in parallel with the primary
       science observations. The observations was reported to look okay. 

   1.15 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.16 Completed WFC-PC 4109 (Rapid Internal Monitor)

       Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to make
       internal flat images looking for new forms of contamination (i.e.,
       daisies and measles). Both images were inspected in the OSS, and
       reported to be okay. 

   1.17 Completed FGS-PC 4765 (Overlapping Plate Field Distortion)

       Both the Planetary Camera and Fine Guidance Sensor #3 were used to
       measure the optical field angle distortion (OFAD). The Planetary
       Camera observations were displayed, and there was at least one star
       image in each observation. The astrometry observations were
       monitored, and no problems were reported in the telemetry.

   2.4 Operations Note: 

       On Day 008/1926Z The Faint Object Camera (f/48) was powered up to
       fulfill a CARD restriction that requires that the FOC Camera P/S to
       be cycled every 30 days. This restriction has been waived once due
       to the IEHT anomaly that occurred on Sept. of 1992, so it had been a
       little over two months since the last cycling event. The IEHT has
       been powered up successfully two times since the original failure.
       The turn on procedure that was attempted on Day 008 employed the
       modified ramp up procedure that was used in previous engineering
       tests and appeared to be proceeding nominally as the spacecraft
       entered LOS. But at AOS the IEHT telemetry indicated it was powered
       off. The implication is that the PDA H/W current limit was tripped,
       powering off the IEHT. ESA and STScI engineers are investigating the
       anomaly. (See Note 1.3)
