                               DAILY REPORT #1046

PERIOD COVERED:  0700 EST
Daily Status Report as of 005/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 4735 (COSTAR/FOC Phase Retrieval)

       The COSTAR and the Faint Object Camera were used to make continuing
       observations to obtain data required for phase retrieval. A long
       series of out of focus images were taken of standard target
       GRW70D5824, and a scheduled corrective SIP maneuver was successfully
       uplinked to the spacecraft. These observations are intended to find
       the best position for the FOC focus and mirror tilt. There was one
       recentering event which occurred during the observations.

   1.2 Complete WF/PC-2 4709 (WF/PC-2 Internal Monitor)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make routine internal monitoring exposures
       (i.e., darks, biases, and K-Spots) as part of SMOV. A total of 20
       observations were received, and displayed. The data was reported to
       be normal.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions:

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 1
                                        Successful : 1
                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 3
                                        Successful : 3

   2.2 FHST Updates:

                              Scheduled :2
                             Successful :0

       Both FHSTs #1 and 2 failed to execute a full axis maneuver update at
       004/2251Z and 004/2254Z. No vehicle attitude problems were 
indicated.

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Notes:

       All onboard subsystems continue in nominal states and all SMOV
       activities are being accomplished as planned.
