PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 278/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.2 Completed HSP/UV2 5005 (Gravitational Lenes - Part II _ Cycle 2
       High) 

       The High Speed Photometer will be used to determine a characteristic
       signature of variability in one component of the gravitational lens
       system KP1635+267. The time delay between the occurrences of the
       signature can be used to weigh the lens. The counts were very low
       for the onboard target acquisition, but the co-investigator said the
       data would be useful anyway. No other problems were reported. 

   1.3 Completed HSP/UV1 1091 (Ultraviolet Pulsations From X-Ray Pulsars) 

       The High Speed Photometer was used to make single color photometric
       observations of the pulsating X-Ray (T-Tauri Class) binary star
       known as 1E1145.1-6. This is to find out if this object gives off
       ultraviolet emissions, as well as X-Ray pulsations. The observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.4 Completed FGS 5054 (High Speed Astrometry - A Search for Planetary 
       Companions to Low  mass Stars)

       The  Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make observations of the
       position of the star Proxima Centauri to determine the presence of a
       Jupiter sized planet in orbit about the target star. The OSS
       monitored the observations and assessed the data quality. No
       problems were reported. 

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 2
                                        Successful : 1

                            At 278/0650Z the acquisition failed to acquire
                            Fine Lock and went to Course Track. The FHST
                            map at 0738 indicated errors of 16 arcseconds. 

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 13
                                        Successful : 13


   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 2
                             Successful : 0

                              FHST Failed to Update at 278/0911Z and 0914Z.
                              Error box problems were indicated. 

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Note: None
