1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed GHRS/2 5041 (GHRS Sensitivity Monitor - Cycle 3)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make 24 ultraviolet
       observations of standard star AGK81D266 to monitor the sensitivity
       of the HRS, which is expected to change slowly with time. The
       onboard target acquisition was successful. All 24 observations were
       received and displayed in the OSS. They were reported to look
       normal.

   1.2 Completed FOS/RD/BL 5120 (HST Imagery and Spectroscopy of the Dusty
       SMC H II Regions N88A)

       The Faint Object spectrograph was used on both the Red and Blue
       sides to make observations of the dusty hydrogen II regions of N88A
       which is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is hoped that
       these observations will help learn more of the conditions within
       this nebula and the properties of the dust which it contains. Some
       of the observations still remain on the science tape recorder, and
       will be analyzed later. Where possible, the OSS monitored the other
       observations, and assessed the data quality. No problems were
       reported.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of FOS/BL 4110 (The Physics and Massive O-Stars
       Different Parent Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       observations of giant O class stars in galaxy NGC-346-6. Ultraviolet
       observations from 1150 A0 to 2300 A0 were made. The binary target
       acquisition was successful. The following peakup found the maximum
       count in the seventh group. It is possible that the target was not
       well centered in the slit during the observations. A recentering
       event was also reported to have occurred during subsequent
       observations. No other anomalies were reported.

   1.4 Completed WFC 4929 (WF/PC Cycle 2: Improved Dark Calibration)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make two dark calibration images.
       The two exposures lasted 1200 seconds each, and the camera was
       pre-flashed before the observations. Both observations were reported
       to be normal exposures.

   1.5 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871

   1.6 Completed PC 5027 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor
       - Part 2)

       The Planetary Camera was used to make internal flat observations to
       check for quantum efficiency hysteresis. The observations were
       executed as schedule, and no problems were reported.
