                            HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
                               DAILY REPORT #809

PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST 01/25/93 - 0800 EST 01/26/93

Daily Status Report as of 026/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 4152 (Observations to Monitor Desorption)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to take a series of four
       images using standard star GRW58211 to monitor the focus of the
       Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA). All observations were executed in
       fine lock. A corrective SIP maneuver was successfully uplinked. All
       four images were reported to be well centered. 

   1.2 Completed FOC/96 4069 (Far-UV Spectra of High Red-Shift Quasars)

       The Faint Object Camera was used to take three ultraviolet objective
       prism spectral images of the high red shift quasar Q0120+027. All
       three images were taken in fine lock. A couple of short recentering
       episodes were noted during the real-time telemetry on the third
       image. All images were reported to look okay. 

   1.3 Completed WFC 1297 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to take four high latitude survey
       images which were taken in parallel with the prime science
       observations. There were no problems, except a couple of short
       episodes of recentering. The images were received and displayed.
       They were reported to look okay. 

   1.4 Completed FOS/RD 3840 (Evolution of Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen in 
       ST)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to take three
       ultraviolet spectral observations of the extra galactic H II regions
       around galaxy C1543+091. The binary search was successful, and all
       three of the science observations were reported to be satisfactory. 

   1.5 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

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

       The Wide Field Camera was used to take two medium-deep sky survey
       images which were taken in parallel with the primary science
       observations. Both images were reported to be satisfactory. 

   1.7 Completed FOS/RD 4698 (FOS Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used on both the red and blue
       sides to obtain two dark exposures to determine the instruments
       background calibration. The first observation was reported to show
       several spikes with count levels at about 200, while the second
       observation only had one or two counts per diode. 

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 3444 (Gas in Interstellar Clouds)

       The High Resolution spectrograph was used to make spectral
       observations of early-type star HD36486 looking for interstellar gas
       clouds. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems
       were reported. 

   1.9 Start of Zero-Gyro (On-Orbit) Test 026/1200Z through 028/0000Z.

   2.4 Operations Note: 

       The Zero-Gyro (On-Orbit) Test was successfully initiated today at
       026/1200Z, and is scheduled to last through Thursday 028/0000Z. No
       operational problems have been reported. The Fight Readiness Review
       meeting (FRR) was held last Friday, Jan. 22, and a final review was 
       held yesterday. 

3.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED FOR NEXT REPORTING PERIOD:
