1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FGS 4893 (Orbital Motions of Close Binary Stars Cycle 3 
       High)

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of
       the binary star system GLIESE-568 to obtain its orbital elements.
       These observations are important since most of the estimates of
       stellar mass are made by observing elements of these systems. The
       astrometry was monitored and no problems were seen in the telemetry. 

   1.2 Completed Three Sets of PC/WFC 4809 (Cycle 2 : WF/PC PSF Calibration
       Proposal) 

       The Planetary Camera was used to make three point spread function
       calibration images of standard star HD144470. The OSS monitored the
       observations and assessed the data quality. All three observations
       were displayed. They all looked okay, but the first observation had
       a cosmic ray hit across the image's point spread function. 

   1.3 Completed PC 4712 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Measles Monitor)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make three Earth Calibration Flat
       images to monitor a form of contamination known as measles. The
       observations used filter F517N, both with and without filter F122M.
       The first two observations were okay, and the third was reported to
       be saturated. 

   1.4 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.5 Completed PC 4521 (Asteroid Shape and Duplicity - Cycle 3 High)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make three snapshot images of the
       large asteroid AST-709-FRIN to look for possible satellites, shapes,
       and albedo variations. All three observations were received and
       displayed, but they showed no target. It would appear that the
       telescope was not correctly pointed for this moving target. 

   1.6 Completed FOS/RD/BL 4396 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot Survey -
       Part 1 of 3: Cycle 3 High) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make two
       spectrographic observations of quasar 0052+2509 and 0145+3839 to
       look for absorption line systems at low red shift, emission lines,
       and to study the QSO's continuum. The observations was received in
       real time. The science observations were reported to show a good
       spectrum. 

   1.7 Completed FOS/BL 4953 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot Survey - 
       Part 3 of 3: Cycle 3 High)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make two observations of
       quasar 1701+6102 to look for absorption lines at low redshift, and
       also emission lines in the QSO's continuum. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and the spectral observations were reported
       to look okay. 

   1.8 Completed PC 5014 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Narrow. 2)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make standard Earth calibrations
       images for flat fielding of PC observations. Medium and narrow
       filters were used, with and without neutral density filters. The
       observations were not monitored closely, but were seen executing
       (i.e., shutter open) as expected. 

   1.9 Completed FOS/BL/RD 4976 (UV Rotation Light Curves for Pluto, and
       Charon's UV Spectrum - Split) 

       The Faint object Spectrograph was used to make a TALED exposure
       subsequent to other spectral observations of the planet Pluto and
       its moon Charon. After a corrective SIP maneuver was uplinked to the
       spacecraft, spectral observations were made of the planet Pluto. The
       observations were executed in fine lock. No problems were reported. 

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

       Rapid Internal Monitoring observations were made with both the Wide
       Field Camera and the Planetary Camera using filter F555W to look for
       new forms of contamination (i.e. daises and measles), and the
       possible return of quantum efficiency hysteresis. The observations
       were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No
       problems were reported.
