PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 246/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.2 Completed WFC 5013 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: 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. A total of six observations were received.
       Two images were reported to be underexposed, one observation was
       saturated, and the others were okay. 

   1.3 Completed Three Sets of PC 4714 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: PC
       Internal Delta Flats)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make two internal flat
       calibration images which will be used for the restoration of Earth
       flat images. They were altered due to changes in quantum efficiency
       which occurred after decontamination operations. Both observations
       was received and displayed in the OSS. They were reported to look
       okay. 

   1.4 Completed GHRS/2 3584 (Probing the Voids - II)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make observations of
       the active galactic nuclei of Markarian galaxy MARK-335 which is
       located behind an extra-galactic void. This is to study the nature,
       abundance, and distribution of Hydrogen I absorbing clouds. The
       first set of three spectral observations were reported to look okay.
       The spectral lines in subsequent observations were reported to be
       smeared. The execution time of these groups suggests that the
       problems may lie with the on-board Doppler correction. 

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of 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. 

   1.6 Completed FGS 4935 (Parallaxes of Hyades Cluster Members - Cycle 3
       High) 

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make astrometric observations
       of star VA200 which is located in the Hyades cluster to obtain a
       definitive calibration of its  population I zero-age main sequence
       members. The observation appeared to execute with no problems 

   1.7 Completed FGS 5058 (Extragalactic Astrometry and Astrophysics
       FT12-23, Part 2 of 2  - Continuation)

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of
       of SAO star 2300-683-IN. These observations will be used to
       determine the rotation of the reference frame used by the HIPPARCOS
       astrometry satellite. The OSS monitored the observations, and
       assessed the data quality. No problems were reported. 

   1.8 Completed FOS/BL 4662 (Exploring Triton's UV Spectrum: The First
       1800 - 2500 A0 UV Survey) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make three observations
       for the moon Triton between 1800 and 2500 A0. This region has not
       been observed before. They are looking for CO, NO, and hydrocarbon
       absorption lines in its spectra. The OSS monitored the observations,
       and assessed the data quality. No problems were reported. All three
       observations were reported to look normal.
