1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/RD 3545 (The Evolution of the UV Spectra In early Type 
       Galaxies))

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
       ultraviolet spectral observations of early type radio galaxy 53W044.
       Several recentering events were reported to have occurred. The
       spectral observations were received and displayed. They were
       reported to be quite weak. 

   1.2 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.3 Completed FOC/96 4804 (UV Imaging of Nearby Galaxies with FOC/96)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make a single ultraviolet
       snapshot images of nearby galaxy UGC-7572. The observation was a ten
       minute exposure using filter F220W, and was made in course track.
       The observations was reported to have shown a very faint object. 

   1.4 Completed GHRS/2 3664 (Probing the Gas of the Superbubble LMC2)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectral
       observations of supergiant OB class star HD38448 which is located in
       Superbubble #2 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This is an expanding
       shell of hot gas which is moving outward through the interstellar
       medium. The onboard target acquisition was successful. The
       observations occurred during LOS, and still remains on the science
       tape recorder. No problems were reported. 
   
   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 4054 (Probing the Nuclear Regions of the Seyfert
       Galaxy NGC-5548) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make spectral observations
       of Seyfert galaxy NGC-5548 to study time variability of continuum
       fluxes, and emission line of Helium II and Carbon IV. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported. 

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 7

                                    Losses of Lock : 0

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 7
                             Successful : 7

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Note: 

       On Day 086, the MSS 2 V2 channel signal changed over a single
       telemetry sample, from -0.17 gauss to +0.45 gauss. After this
       sample, the signal returned to its nominal range. This event
       occurred at a Sun Angle of +90 degrees. Initial analysis suggest
       that this event was not due to a communications reconfiguration, as
       these events usually result in a saturation of the channel signal
       (+0.61 gauss). On Day 091, the MSS 1 V2 channel saturated for ten
       seconds at a value of +0.6096 gauss. Initial analysis suggest that
       this was an actual anomaly, occuring at a Sun Angle of 72 Degrees.
       On Day 102, there were two occurrences of anomalous MSS 1 V2 channel
       behavior. The events occurred at Sun Angles of 76.5 degrees and 58.2
       degrees, and consisted of saturated signals (+0.6096) for two
       minutes.
