1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Complete PC 5020 (Separate Light Curves of Pluto and Charon - Split

       of 3848)

        The Planetary Camera was used to make two photometry observations
        of the planet Pluto and its moon Charon. Separate observations were
        also made of a comparison star. The objective was to obtain
        improved albedo mapping of Pluto and its satellite. The
        observations were made in fine lock. They were received in real
        time and displayed in the OSS. They were reported to be nominal.


   1.2 Complete GHRS/2 1189 (Zeta Oph.> Interstellar Molecules - Cycle 2)


       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectral
       observations of weak absorption line from interstellar molecules
       from viewing the background star Zeta Ophiuchi. All target
       acquisitions, wavelenght calibrations, and spectral observations
       were successful. All of the observations were reported to look okay.


   1.3 Complete WFC 5013 (WF/PC Cycle 3: WFC Flats Narrow. 2)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make six Earth flat calibration
       images to be used for flat fielding of WFC observations. The
       observations used the narrow band filters, both with and without
       neutral density filters. Two images were reported to be okay, two
       were saturated, and two were underexposed. 

   1.4 Complete WFC/PC 5026 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: Rapid Internal

       Monitor)

       The Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to make
       internal flat calibration images. These images will be used to look
       for measles and daisies (i.e., different forms of contamination),
       and to monitor scattered light. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.5 Complete HSP/UV2 4307 (Radial and Non-Radial Pulsations in Hot White

       Dwarfs - Cycle 3 Medium)

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make photometric observations
       of the hot white dwarf star K1-16 (surface temperature about 120000
       to 140000K). This star is known to exhibit non-radial pulsations.
       The OSS monitored the observations, and assessed the data quality.
       No problems were reported. 

   1.6 Complete FGS 5062 (Scale Cycle 2 Calibration - Fixed) 

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to calibrate the scale in the
       central region using standard star HD16620. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.7 Complete 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 executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported. 

   1.8 Complete FOS/BL/RD 4976 (UV Rotational 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. The TALED observation was received in real time and
       displayed for the principal investigator. It was reported to look
       okay. 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.
