PERIOD COVERED:  0700 EST
Daily Status Report as of 013/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5240 (SMOV-WF/PC-2 Flat Field
       Calibrations)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of visual internal flat images.
       11 images were received and displayed in the OSS. Four of the images
       were reported to be underexposed, and seven were okay.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of FOS/RD/BL 4746 (COSTAR/FOS Coarse Alignment)

       The Faint Object spectrograph was used to make pairs of
       acquisitions, one from each side (i.e., Red and Blue), to be used
       for coarse alignment and focus of the COSTAR FOS M1 mirror. The
       cluster NGC-188-225 was used as a target object. No problems were
       reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC -2 5248 (WF/PC-2 Image Quality and Stability Check)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a stability image of the star cluster
       NGC-188 for over a 2000 seconds time span. This will be compared
       with short time span exposures. A dark exposure was also taken. The
       baseline guide star acquisition got fine lock, and the exposures
       completed.  The observations were reported to be nominal.

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 4721 (WF/PC-2 Decontamination and TEC
       Turn ON)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet photometric observations of
       the star standard A+81D266, plus K-Spots, and dark calibration
       images. All four sets of CCDs were used. A total of 11 images were
       received and displayed in the OSS. No anomalies were reported.

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 5133 (Mass Exchange Binaries (FOS 34) SS 2883:
       Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make
       observations of the mass exchanging contact binary star SS2883
       (aka, DC-63D2495). This system is composed of a class Be star and a
       pulsar. The observations were monitored in the OSS, and the data
       quality was assessed. No anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 4709 (WF/PC-2 Internal Monitor)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make two sets of routine internal monitoring
       exposures (i.e., darks, biases, and K-Spots) of star cluster NGC-188
       as part of SMOV. The observations were received, displayed. Both
       images were reported to be normal.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

                                        Successful : 5
                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 6
                                        Successful : 6

   2.2 FHST Updates:

                              Scheduled :10
                             Successful :10

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Notes:

       SMOV activities continue to be performed on or ahead of the
       planned schedule.  COSTAR was repositioned for the FOS during the
       night.

       All onboard subsystems remain in nominal states.

       A press conference will be held this morning at 10:30 a.m. to
       present the first pictures from the refurbished HST.
