1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed HSP/UV2 4943 (A Search for UV Variability in Nova 1992 - 
       Cycle 2 High)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to attempt to make five
       ultraviolet observations of the supernova SN1992 Cygni (aka, GQ
       Muscae) to explore the physical conditions neat the white dwarf star
       in the system. All five images showed no sign of the target, with
       only a few reported pixels with one or two counts. 

   1.2 Completed S/C XSAFE (Safemode Recovery of the HST Science Instruments 
       - FOC)

       The Safemode recovery of the Faint Object Camera was successful. 

   1.3 Completed WFC 4848 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program Cycle 3 High)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make two low latitude sky survey
       observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations.
       Both observations were received and displayed in the OSS. They both
       were reported to look normal. 

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

       The Faint Object Camera was used to make one ultraviolet
       observations of nearby galaxy EAO-0308-5. The exposure lasted ten
       minutes and used filter F220W. The observation was started as
       planned with no problems, but completed during LOS. Final analysis
       will be completed after the playback of the science tape recorder
       data. 

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

       The High Resolution spectrograph was used to perform a spectral lamp
       mini-function test for the first order grading. The observations
       occurred completely during an LOS, and the data remains on the
       science tape recorder. 

   1.6 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.7 Completed FOS/RD 4697 (FOS Polarmetric Calibration)

       Both the Red and Blue Sides of the Faint Object Spectrograph was
       used to obtain a series of measurements of the internal Pt-Ne lamp
       to locate the two oppositely polarized spectra that occur with the
       polarimeter. The observations occurred during LOS. The observations
       were monitored in the OSS, and no problems were reported with the
       telemetry. 

   1.8 Completed FOC/96 3913 (Ultraviolet Imaging of IRAS Starbursting
       Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/48) was used to make ultraviolet image of
       starbursting galaxy IRAS12112+ using filters F140W and F220W. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported. 

   1.9 Completed WFC 4381 (HST Medium Deep Survey - Cycle 3)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make high latitude medium-deep sky
       survey observations taken in parallel with the prime science
       observations. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the
       data quality was assessed. No problems were reported. 

   1.10 Completed FOS/RD 4062 (Stellar and Gas Dynamics in Normal Galaxies 
        Augmentation: Cycle 2)

        The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to spectra of the
        inner one arcsecond of the core region of galaxy NGC-224 (aka,
        M-31, the Andromeda Galaxy). The observations were executed as
        scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   2.4 Operations Note: 

       Flight Software
       ---------------

       DF-224 Flight Software Version 9.0 software was successfully
       installed in the spacecraft as planned on June 9. The verification
       tests went well, and no major problems were encountered.  This was
       the first time a complete new DF-224 version software was installed
       on the spacecraft since launch. SMS-161 was initiated at 161/0800Z 
       and no major problems have been reported. Science observations are
       now continuing as normal.
