                            HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
                               DAILY REPORT #812

PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST 01/28/93 - 0800 EST 01/29/93

Daily Status Report as of 029/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/RD 3296 (Supernova Remnants and Nucleo Synthesis)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used on both the red and blue
       sides to make Series of spectral observations of the supernova
       remnant NGC-4449-SN. The binary target acquisition failed on the
       first set, and a status buffer error message indicated no target.
       Although the subsequent peakup was "successful", the science data
       for the peakup showed no target. An HSTAR was filed. 

       In the next series of eight observations the spectra showed broad
       emission lines. The last three observations showed no real target,
       and the spectra showed only noise. 

   1.2 Completed FOS/RD 4206 (Spectroscopy of Super Metal Poor Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make three 2400 second
       exposures of the super metal poor irregular galaxy GR-8. The three
       observations were received and displayed. The first binary target
       acquisition failed, and generated a status buffer error message. A
       corrective SIP maneuver was uplinked since the target acquisition
       failed. The science observations were reported to mostly noise. An
       HSTAR was written. 

   1.3 Completed WFC/PC 4207 (Photometric Calibration Monitor)

       Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used with
       six wide band filters to obtain single chip readouts of W2 and P6 to
       measure the ultraviolet flux of standard star BD+75D325. All six
       images were received and displayed. They all were reported to look
       good. 

   1.4 Completed FOS/BL 4698 (FOS Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used on both the red and blue
       sides to obtain dark exposures to determine the instrumental
       background. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       problems were reported. 

   1.5 Completed PC 4140 (WF/PC Calibration:Rapid Internal Monitor - Part 2)

       The Planetary Camera was used to obtain internal flat observations
       to check for new forms of contamination. The OSS monitored to
       observations, and no problems were reported.
