Daily Status Report as of 299/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FGS 4789 (Masses of Per-Main Sequence Binary Stars - Part
       2)

       Fine Guidance Sensor #3 was used to make astrometric observations of
       three pre-main sequence binary stars GN-TAU, FF-TAU and HQ-TAU which
       are located in Taurus. The observations will be used to determine
       the apparent orbits of the stars which will make it possible to
       determine the masses of each system, since their distances are
       known. The observations were monitored by the OSS, and the data
       quality was assessed. No problems were reported.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of FOS/RD 5229 (RPT/Cal: Spectral Flat Fields -
       G918B2B Super Flat Redux)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make flat field
       spectral calibration observations using standard star WD0501+526.
       The peakup located the target successfully. The observations were
       reported to be okay, except for one observations. It was reported to
       have had a recentering event occur during the observation.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of 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. Five observations were received and displayed in the OSS.
       Two of the observations were reported to be okay, and three were
       saturated.

   1.4 Completed PC 5073 (WF/PC Cycle 3 calibration PC Flats Wide. 2)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make two sets of Earth flat
       calibration images using different filter combinations. These images
       will be used for flat field corrections of science images made with
       the PC. No problems were reported.

   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 PC 4712 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: Measles Monitor)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make Earth Calibration Flat images
       to monitor of a form of contamination known as measles. The
       observations used filter F517N, both with and without filter F122M.
       The OSS monitored the observation and assessed the data quality. No
       problems were reported.

   1.7 Completed WFC/PC 5026 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: Rapid Internal
       Monitor)

       The Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to make
       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. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.8 Completed WFC 5075 (WF/PC Cycle 3: Calibration: WFC Flats Wide. 1)

       Observations were made to make a standard calibration to obtain
       Earth flats using the Wide Field Camera. The OSS monitored the
       observations and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were
       reported.

   2.4 Operations Note:

       A new spacecraft tape recorder management technique was initiated
       with the SMS-298 which started yesterday, Monday, Oct. 25, 1993.
       Tape recorders number one and three are being used for management of
       science data, and tape recorder number two is being used to manage
       the engineering data. All indications are that the new system is
       working successfully.

       The SMGT #14(A) test was initiated today, Tuesday Oct. 26,
       and will end on Thursday, Oct. 28, 1993. All operations are
       proceeding normally, and no anomalies have been reported.
