PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 251/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WFC/PC 5026 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: Rapid Internal

       Monitor)

       The Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to make
       two 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. Both observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. The
       internal flat observations were reported to look normal. 

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


       The Planetary Camera was used to make two standard Earth
       calibrations images for flat fielding of PC observations. Medium and
       narrow filters were used, with and without neutral density filters.
       Both sets of observations were executed as scheduled. The first
       image was underexposed, and the second was reported to look normal.


   1.3 Completed WFC/PC 5025 (WF/PC cycle 3 Calibration: Photometric
       Calibration: Monitor) 

       The Wide Field Camera and planetary Camera were used to make
       observations of the ultraviolet star BD+75D325 using only
       single-chip readouts of W2 and P6. Six broad band filters were used.
       A total of twelve observations were taken. All twelve observations
       were reported to look normal. 

   1.4 Completed FOS/BL 3803 (Pluto's FUV spectrum: CO Abundance and FUV

       Survey) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to attempt to make far
       ultraviolet observations of the planet Pluto to look for CO
       absorption in the Cameron Bands. This does not include its moon
       Charon. Unfortunately the baseline guide star acquisition failed, so
       the shutter never opened for the following observations. As a
       result, the planned SIP corrective maneuvers were canceled.
       Subsequent reacquisitions also failed. It was reported that the
       problem appeared to be a bad secondary guide star. No observations
       were taken. (See Operations Note 2.1)

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 2
                                        Successful : 1
                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 13
                                        Successful : 4

                          FGS 1 & 3 failed acquisition of a guide star in
                          Fine Lock at 249/1933z, and acquired successfully
                          acquired Course Track. 

                          At 250/2010Z Acquisition completely failed, and
                          course track was not obtained. An ARU/PRT was
                          successfully uplinked to the spacecraft, but the
                          FGSs could not located the guide stars. PMT
                          counts were too low for observing. 

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 5
                             Successful : 5

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Note: None
