Daily Status Report as of 111/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of  WFC 4105 (HST Medium Deep Survey - Cycle 1 
       High Latitude))

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make one image for a high latitude
       medium deep sky survey. This image was taken in parallel with the
       prime science observations. The image was received and displayed in
       the OSS. It was reported to look okay, however, it did have a
       satellite trail across the image. 

   1.2 Completed PC 4109 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor)

       Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to
       make one image each for internal flat calibration images. These are
       looking for new forms of contamination (i.e., daises and measles),
       and the return of QEH (quantum efficiency hysteresis). Both images
       were received and displayed in the OSS. They both were reported to
       look okay. 

   1.3 Completed PC 4778 (Recent Mass Ejection From Planetary Nebulae 
       Nuclei)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make images of the central star in
       the protoplanetary nebula EGB6 (i.e., star 0950+139). The star has
       been discovered to have a companion at a separation of 0.18
       arcseconds. Three different recentering events were reported to have
       occurred during the observations due to day/night transitions. The
       observations were received and displayed for the principal
       investigator. They were reported to look okay. 

   1.4 Completed PC 4140 (WFPC Cycle 2 Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor 
       - Part 2))

       The Planetary Camera was used to make three internal flat
       calibration observations using filter F439W to check for new forms
       of contamination. All three observations were received and displayed
       in the OSS. They were reported to look okay. 

   1.5 Completed FOS/RD 3660 (The Level of Ionization and Chemical 
       Composition of QSOs)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make two observations of
       the broad absorption line regions within quasar Q0932+501 to help
       confirm its chemical composition. The onboard binary target
       acquisition succeeded, with eight groups in the final file. Two
       separate recentering events were reported to have occurred during
       the observations. The last half of the observations occurred during
       LOS, and the science data still remains on the tape recorder. No
       problems were reported. 

   1.6 Completed WFC 3917 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Cycle Two Part 1)

       Both the FOC (f/96) and the Wide Field Camera were used in parallel
       to do a high latitude sky survey. Three images were taken with the
       WFC in parallel with the other proposal. Two different recentering
       events occurred during the observations. The first observations was
       received and displayed. The other two observations occurred during
       LOS, and will be analyzed later. 

   1.7 Completed HSP/UV2 4801 (Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in AM Hercules 
       Binaries))

       The High Speed Photometer (Ultraviolet side) was used to study high
       speed oscillations in the variable star VV Puppis (Which is a AM
       Hercluis class variable star). The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.8 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 the nuclear regions in Seyfert galaxy NGC-5548 to study the time
       variability of its continuum fluxes, and emission lines of Helium II
       and Carbon IV. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       problems have been reported. 

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

                                    Losses of Lock : 0

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 8
                             Successful : 8

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Note: 

       The MOSES/NASA power engineers have received the 116 SMS and found
       that no SA slew are necessary, given the small changes recommended
       by the STScI. The EPS will be power positive throughout the SMS.
       Further, the STScI will , starting with the 123 SMS, recommend SA
       slews only when a minimum of 5.8 degree change is necessary.
