1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed GHRS/2 3372 (GHRS Point Spread Function Determination)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make four observations
       of standard star HD141556 to help measure the point spread function
       of the large science aperture. All four observations were received.
       The first and the third observations were deflection calibrations.
       The other two were the spiral search and the peakup. The target was
       found in the ninth map. After the peakup the target flux was 45044.

       observations on both the red and blue side of optically bright
       quasar PG1116+215 whose visual magnitude is around 15. The
       observations were received and displayed. They were reported to look
       normal. 

   1.3 Completed WFC 1297 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make two high latitude
       observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations.

   1.4 Completed WFC/PC 4109 (WF/PC Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor)

       Two observations were made using both the Wide Field Camera and the
       Planetary Camera to make internal flat calibration images. This is
       to check for new forms of contamination (i.e., Measles and Daisies),
       and the return of quantum efficiency hystoresis. Both observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

       Density Laws)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectral
       observations of the eclipsing binary star Zeta Auriega (aka,
       HD32068) during part of its eclipse phase. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.7 Completed GHRS/2 3706 (Nature of Gas Loops in Milky Way Halo)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make observations of
       high galactic latitude star HD+49D2137 to study the neutral hydrogen
       clouds which are moving toward the plane of our galaxy. The
       observations were monitored in the OSS, and no problems were
       reported. 

   1.8 Completed GHRS/2 4067 (GHRS 1st Order Grating Spectral Lamp Test)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectral
       calibration lamp mini-function tests using the first order gratings.
       The calibration observations were executed as planned, and monitored
       in the OSS. No problems were reported. 

   1.9 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.10 Completed GHRS/2 4768 (Dynamics and Energy Balance of Interstellar 
        Transition Regions

        The High Resolution spectrograph was used to make spectral
        observations of the star Beta Draconis (aka, HD159181) to look for
        the redshift of spectral lines of carbon, oxygen, and Silicon. The
        observations were monitored by the OSS, and no problems were
        reported. 

   1.11 Completed PC 4347 (WF/PC calibration: Flood Retention Test)

        The Planetary Camera was used to make Earth Calibration images
        using filter F439W to determine how much of the last ultraviolet
        flood still remains in the system. The observations were monitored
        in the OSS, and no problems were reported. 

   1.12 Completed GHRS/2 4792 (Hydrogen Lyman Alpha Dayglow Emission Line 
        Profiles)

        The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make two line profiles
        of the Lyman Alpha dayglow of the central meridian of the planet
        Jupiter. This was at the equator and at a mid latitude. Both
        observations were received and displayed. These were a wave length
        calibration and spectral observations. They were reported to look
        okay. 

   1.13 Completed PC 4712 (WF/PC  Calibration: Measles Monitor)

        The Planetary Camera was used to make three Earth flat calibration
        images using filter F517N. No problems were seen with the
        telemetry. 

   1.14 Completed GHRS/2 4766 (Boron in Population II Dwarfs, Part 2)

        The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make a large series of
        observations (24) of the metal poor unresolved dwarf star HD140283.
        The observations were received, and where possible displayed. Most
        were reported to look normal. One of the observations was affected
        by spacecraft jitter during a night/day transition. 


   1.15 Completed GHRS/2 3463 (Highly Ionized Nitrogen in Galactic Halo)

        The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make nine observations
        of the active galactic nuclei of NGC-3783. All nine observations
        were received and displayed. The confirmation image showed the
        target well centered. One of the spectral observations showed
        several observer bias disturbances. The spectral observations were
        reported to look okay. 

   1.16 Completed FOC/96 (3591 (Mass Stars in Starburst Galaxies- FOC Images 
        (Part 1))

        observation of the star burst formation galaxy NGC-5253. The
        observations was received and displayed. It was reported to look
        okay.

        The Wide Field Camera was used to make one internal flat
        observations looking of quantum efficiency changes which may have
        occurred during decontamination operations. The observations was
        received and displayed. It was reported to look okay. 

   1.18 Completed PC 3769 (Structure of Inner Coma of Comet Chiron) 

        The Planetary Camera was used to make seven observations with
        filter F555W of the object/comet known as 2060 Chrion. This was to
        study its the outer edge (i.e., the exopause) of the
        gravitationally bound dust cloud around its nucleus (i.e., the
        inner coma). All seven observations were received, but only the
        first four were displayed. They looked okay. No other problems were
        reported. 

   1.19 Completed WFC 4713 (WF/PC Calibration: Internal Delta Flats) 

        One internal flat calibration observations was made using the Wide
        Field Camera. It was received and displayed. It was reported to
        look normal. 

   1.20 Initiated WFC/PC 4207 (WF/PC Calibration: Photometric Calibration 
        Monitor)

        Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to
        make measure the ultraviolet flux of standard star BD+75D325 to
        measure the unit's throughput. The observations were monitored in
        the OSS, and no problems were reported.

   2.4 Operations Note: 

       The special FGS #2 diagnostic test was conducted last Friday (Feb.
       19, 1993) The actions of the FGS were closely monitored while Star
       Selector Servo A was rotated ten turns in each direction at a rate
       of 10,240 arcsecond per second, to help redistribute the lubricant
       in the unit. Because the torque values were reaching saturation near
       the end of the test, the test was terminated until further data
       analysis can be performed. The star selectors were then moved to a
       safe location, and powered down. A detailed analysis of the anomaly
       is currently under way. A special review meeting has been called for
       Feb. 23, 1993, to review all data.
