                               DAILY REPORT #994

PERIOD COVERED:  0800 EST
Daily Status Report as of 288/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:
      
   1.1 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.
       The observations were executed as scheduled. One image was
       underexposed, and the other was overexposed. 

   1.2 Completed PC 5072 (WF/PC Cycle 2 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. Four observations were received and displayed in the OSS.
       Two of the observations were reported to be okay, one was saturated,
       and one was underexposed. 

   1.3 Completed FGS 5057 (Extragalactic Astrometry and Astrophysics
       FT0-11, Part 1 fo 2) 

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of
       of several different extragalactic objects. These observations will
       be used to determine the rotation of the reference frame used by the
       HIPPARCOS astrometry satellite. This proposal is tied to proposal
       1013. The observation occurred during LOS and could not be monitored
       in real-time. No anomalies were reported. 

   1.4 Completed Three Sets of WFC 4848 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program
       - Cycle 3 High) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make five high latitude
       medium-deep sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime
       science observations. All five observations were received and
       displayed. They were reported to look okay. 

   1.5 Completed FGS 5059 (Seven Points of Light - Cycle 2 Calibration - 
       Fixed)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make observations of standard
       star UPGREEN-69. The objective was to calibrate the single star
       interferometeric fringe pattern at seven different points in the
       central region of the astrometric FGS. The engineering link was not
       available and the observations were not monitored by the OSS. No
       anomalies were reported. 

   1.6 Completed FGS 4893 (Orbital Motions of Close Binary Stars - Cycle 3
       High) 

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of
       the binary star system HD73900 to obtain its orbital elements. These
       observations are important since most of the estimates of stellar
       mass are made by observing elements of these systems. The astrometry
       was monitored and no problems were seen in the telemetry. 

   1.7 Completed GHRS/2 4541 (Cepheid Masses - Cycle 3 High)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make spectral
       observations of star HD172167 (aka, Vega). This star is being used
       as a wavelenght standard star for subsequent observations. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were
       reported. 

   1.8 Completed WFC 4713 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: WFC Internal Delta 
       Flats)

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make an internal flat calibrations
       image. The image was reported to look normal. 

   1.9 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, per MOSES 2871

   1.10 Completed FOS/BL 4058 (Mass Exchange Binaries (FOS 34)
        Augmentation: Cycle 2 Observation) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       ultraviolet Rapid Mode spectropolarmetric observations of the
       eclipsing binary star system DQ-Hec. The white dwarf in the system
       has a rotational period of 71 seconds. The observations were
       monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. The target
       was located and the first observation was reported to be weak. The
       next observation had an overlight sum of 7000, and the data still
       remains on the science tape recorder. 

   1.11 Completed FOS/RD 5225 (Quasar Absorption Line Survey - Cycle 3 High
        - Part 3) 

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make two
       observations of quasar PKS0743_67 to learn more about the origin and
       evolution of gas clouds along the line of sight of this target. This
       is a continuation of proposal 2424. It is hoped to obtain a
       homogeneous sample of the QSO's spectra. Both observations were
       received and displayed. They had only noise, as was expected for
       this observations. No other anomalies were noted. 

   1.12 Completed WFC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Cycle 3) 

       The Wide Field Camera was used to make two set of medium-deep high
       latitude sky survey observations taken in parallel with the prime
       science observations. The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and no problems were reported.
