HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1022 PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST Daily Status Report as of 328/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed WFC 5013 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: WFC 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 four observations were received. One observation was reported to be underexposed, and the others were okay. 1.2 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. 1.3 Completed FOS/RD/FOC/96/HSP/POL/GHRS/2 5232 (Fall Heptathlon) This proposal used each of the SIs along with the WFC and FGSs to determine the focal plane and FGS stability, and the relative positions of the SIs. All observations were made in fine lock. A total of sixteen images were taken, and all were reported to look normal. 1.4 Completed PC 4714 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: PC Internal Delta Flats) The Faint Object Camera was used to make eight internal flat calibration images which will be used for the restoration of Earth flat images, which were altered due to changes in quantum efficiency which occurred after decontamination operations. The observations was received and displayed in the OSS. Of the eight images, six were reported to be okay. Two showed a dark steak, which may be more prominent than usual. 1.5 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 16 Earth Flat calibration exposures using the wide and medium band filters. All sixteen observations were received and displayed in the OSS. Eight images were reported to be okay, four were saturated, and four were underexposed. 1.6 Completed FOS/BL 4952 (QSO Absorption System Snapshot Survey - Part 2 of 3: Cycle 3 High) The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make 2 observation of quasar 0856+4649 to look for absorption lines at low redshift, and also emission lines in the QSO's continuum. Both observations were received and displayed. The onboard target acquisition was successful, and the observations were reported to look okay. 1.7 Completed Three Sets of WFC 4713 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: WFC Internal Delta Flats) The Wide Field Camera was used to make a total of three internal flat calibrations images. All three images were reported to be normal. 1.8 Completed FOS/BL 5050 (Cycle 3 Internal Wavelength Calibration) The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make calibration spectra for every detector/ grating combination through the 0.3" circular and 0.1" paired apertures. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No problems were reported. 1.9 Completed FOS/BL 4305 (A Critical Extension of the Interstellar Polarization Curve: Cycle 3 High) The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make polarization light curves of the star HD204827 to study interstellar dust grains. It is hoped to find a correlation between polarization and wavelength. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the data quality was assessed. No anomalies were reported. 1.10 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. 1.11 Completed WFC/PC 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. 1.12 Completed WFC 5019 (A Survey of the Giant Branch of the Bulge of M-31 - Continuation of 2735) The Planetary Camera was used to help make a survey of red giant stars in the nuclear bulge region (aka, NGC-224-1) of galaxy M-31 (aka, the Andromeda Galaxy) to study the distribution and metal abundances of these stars. This is a continuation of proposal 2735. The OSS monitored the observations, and assessed the data quality. No anomalies were reported. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 4 Successful : 4 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 10 Successful : 10 2.2 FHST Updates: Scheduled : 10 Successful : 10 2.3 Significant HSTARs: None 2.4 Operations Note: None 3.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED FOR NEXT REPORTING PERIOD: 3.1 Complete FGS 2565 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic Reference Frame Part 1 of 6) 3.2 Complete Three Sets of WFC 4381 (HST Medium - Deep Survey - Cycle 3) 3.3 Complete Two Sets of WFC PC 5026 (WF/PC Cycle Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor) 3.4 Complete FOS/BL 4250 (Massive Stars in Starburst Galaxies - FOS Exposures (Part 2)) 3.5 Complete Two Sets of WFC 4713 (WF/PC Cycle 2 Calibration: WFC Internal Delta Flats) 3.6 Complete PC 4308 (Snapshot Survey for Companions to Planetary Nebula Nuclei - Cycle 3 High) 3.7 Complete GHRS/2 4510 (The Evolution of Boron: Implications for Galactic Evolution) 3.8 Complete FOS/RD 5050 (Cycle 3: Internal Wavelength Calibration) 3.9 Complete PC 5027 (WF/PC Cycle Calibration: Rapid Internal Monitor - Part 2) 3.10 Complete WFC 5019 (A Survey of the Giant Branch in the Bulge of M-31, continuation of 2735) 3.11 Complete GHRS/2 4226 (Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Hydrogen Poor Planetary Nebulae) 3.12 Complete PC 3912 (Cores of Early Type Galaxies) 3.13 Complete FOS/BL 4952 (QSO Absorption Survey Snapshot - Part 2 of 3: Cycle 3 High) 3.14 Complete PC 5072 (WF/PC Cycle 3 Calibration: PC Flats Wide. 1) 3.15 Complete HSP/UV2 5084 (Visible and Ultraviolet Light Curves of Shot Period RR Lyrae type Stars) 3.16 Complete WFC 4849 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program, Cycle 3 High) 4.0 ANOMALY STATUS: 4.1 Significant New Anomalies: None 4.2 Significant Unresolved Anomalies: None 5.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: The launch of STS-61 (SM#1) is scheduled for Dec.1, 1993. /DMH -END-
