PERIOD COVERED:  0700 EST
Daily Status Report as of 035/1200Z.

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Complete FGS 5425 (SMOV K-Factor Verification Test Trans Scans for
       FGS 1,2,3) 

       The astrometric standard stars OF-301, OF-309-REF, OF-1, and 
       OF-10-REF located in the star cluster M-35 were observed with all
       three FGSs. The engineering telemetry indicated that the guide star
       acquisitions were successful and that fine lock was maintained
       during the designated period of time. No anomalies were noted. 

   1.2 Complete GHRS/2/COSTAR 4732 (COSTAR/GHRS Fine Alignment
       X-Tilt/Y-Tilt) 

       A 3X3 tilt-scan test was performed to fine tune the values for the
       best X-tilt and Y-tilt positions of the GHRS tilt mirrors of COSTAR.
       The target was the 12th magnitude standard star AGK81D266. A total
       of eight SIP corrective maneuvers were successfully uplinked to the
       spacecraft. The OSS monitored the observations, and assessed the
       data quality. One observation showed the target near the edge of the
       aperture, and there was some smearing of the observation. No other
       anomalies were noted. 
 
   1.3 Complete 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+81D262, plus K-Spots, and dark calibration
       images. All four sets of CCDs were used. The observations were
       executed as scheduled. No anomalies were reported.

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled :2
                             Successful :2

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Notes:

       There have been no difficulties with any of the scheduled SMOV
       activities or with any HST subsystem. 

       Today and into the weekend, the GHRS low voltage DEB will undergo
       testing.
