From: STSCIC::SMM "On Duty SMM, EXT 5074" 8-OCT-1993 20:26:05.28 To: SMM CC: Subj: telnet.log HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #989 PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST Daily Status Report as of 281/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed Four Sets of PC 5023 (Calibration/WFPC Cycle 3 Polarization Calibration) The Wide Field Camera was used to make polarization calibration observations by using images of a non-polarized standard star. This will allow for the absolute transmittance of the polarized optical path to be established. Sixteen images were received and displayed. Seven was reported to be saturated, one was underexposed, and the other eight were okay. 1.2 Completed Three Sets of WFC 5013 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: Flats Narrow. 2) The Wide Field Camera was used to make 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. All six images were reported to be okay. 1.3 Completed FOC/96 5032 (FOC Absolute Sensitivity and Format Dependence (f/96 Relay)) The Faint Object Camera was used to make images of the ultraviolet standard star to test the throughput of the F/96 camera. The exposures were taken using different filters and image formats. The observations were received and displayed in real time. A pointing correction was calculated and successfully uplinked to the spacecraft. All six images were reported to look normal. 1.4 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 executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.5 Completed HSP/POL 4942 (Active Galactic Nuclei - Cycle 2 High) The High Speed photometer was used to make observations of the active galactic nucleus of variable galactic object BL-Lac. This is to monitor the intensity and linear polarization of the radiation emitted by the active galactic nuclei. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No anomalies were noted. 1.6 Completed WFC 4848 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program - Cycle 3 High) The Wide Field Camera was used to make two high latitude medium-deep sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations. Both observations were received and displayed. They were reported to look okay. 1.7 Completed HSP/POL 4887 (X-Ray Binaries - Augmentation - Cycle 3 High) The High Speed Photometer was used to make photometric and polarimetric observations of X-Ray binary star 4U907+09 to obtain more information about the structure and condition in the gas streams connecting the primary star to its neutron companion. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 1.8 Completed PC 5072 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Wide. 1) Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary camera were used to make Earth Flat calibration exposures using the wide and medium band filters. The observations were received and displayed in the OSS. All of the observations were reported to be normal. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 3 Successful : 3 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 12 Successful : 12 2.2 FHST Updates: Scheduled : 10 Successful : 10 2.3 Significant HSTARs: None 2.4 Operations Note: The JIS #4 (EVA #3) Simulation was initiated this morning, Friday (Oct. 8, 1993) at 1200Z.
