1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5570 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Earthflats,
       Large Set)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of Earth flat calibration images
       using different filters in order to construct high quality flat
       fields of the OTA illumination pattern. A total of eight images were
       received and displayed. One image was reported to be underexposed,
       two were saturated, and the other five were okay.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration:
       Internal Monitor 3: Darks)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain two 30-minute long, dark exposures
       to provide ongoing calibration of the CCD dark current and to
       monitor and characterize the evolution of hot pixels. Both images
       were received and displayed in the OSS. They were reported to look
       nominal.

   1.3 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio
       Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C181.0
       and 3C299.1 as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxies'
       morphology. Two images were received and displayed. Both were
       reported to look nominal.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5561 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal
       Monitor. 2 : Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a visual flat calibration images to
       monitor flat field stability and the stability of the
       analog-to-digital converters. Five observations were monitored by
       the OSS. All five images were reported to be saturated.

   1.5 Completed FGS 5054 (High Speed Astrometry: A Search for Planetary
       Companions to Low Mass Stars)

       The  Fine Guidance Sensors were used to make observations of the
       position of the star Proxima Centauri to determine the presence of a
       Jupiter sized planet in orbit about the target star. The Baseline
       guide star acquisition failed to make fine lock on FGS #1 and #2. It
       did make course track on FGS #1. The remaining time under this
       guiding period was all during LOS, and could not be monitored in
       real time.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5092 (GTO Low Latitude Parallel Program: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations taken in parallel with the
       prime science observations. This is part of a survey to take
       pictures of a large number of fields within 30 degrees of the
       galactic plane. The intent is to determine the luminosity function
       of low mass stars and the mass density in the solar neighborhood.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.7 Completed Two Sets of FGS 5134 (Extragalactic Astrometry and
       Astrophysics: FT12-23, Part 2 of 2)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of five
       different stars to tie the HIPPARCOS and extragalactic reference
       frames together. Most of the targets in this set of observations
       were successfully acquired and observed. Two targets failed to be
       located, and the Stop Flag was set. About half of the observations
       occurred during LOS. The observations which could be monitored were
       reported to be nominal.

   1.8 Completed FGS 5174 (Astrometric Companion Search: Cycle 4)

       FGS #3 was used to make astrometric observations of the possible
       binary dwarf star BD+68D946 to look for an astrometric unseen low
       mass companion. The OSS monitored the observations and assessed the
       data quality. No anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5091 (GTO High Latitude Parallel Program: Cycle 4)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make high galactic latitude observations greater than +/-30
       degrees. These are randomly chosen fields to sample very low
       luminosity stars in the solar galactic neighborhood, galactic halo
       objects, and distant galaxies. The science observations remains on
       the science tape recorder, and will be analyzed later. No anomalies
       were noted.

   1.10 Completed WF/PC-2 5324 (Globular Cluster Core Imaging)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the central region of 
globular
       cluster NGC-7078 (aka, M-15). The OSS monitored the observations.
       The data remains on the science tape recorder. No anomalies were
       noted.

   1.11 Completed FOS/BL 5530 (FOS Location of Spectra and Aperture)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make Y-base 
maps
       of the FOS detectors using internal lamps. The purpose is to
       determine the location of the spectra on the diodes. The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.12 Completed WF/PC-2 5351 (Properties of Intermediate Redshift
       Galactic Disks Causing Damped Ly-Alpha)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations to study the diffuse
       material at intermediate redshifts that is identified by absorbing
       Lyman-Alpha spectrum from quasar PKS0454+03. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.13 Completed GHRS/1 5413 (The Local ISM Flow Within the Heliosphere)

        The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make observations to
        study the flow of neutral atoms in the interstellar medium by
        observing diffuse sky background in Lyman Alpha. The observations
        were executed as scheduled, and no problems were noted.
