1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5369 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Cycle 4
       Medium, High Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 made a series of observations of high latitude objects
       as part of a medium deep sky survey. The observations were taken in
       parallel with other prime science observations. The science
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.2 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. The science observations
       were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5427 (Calibration of Nearby Galaxy Type IA
       Supernovae as Standard Candles)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of nearby galaxy
       NGC-4496-A-F as part of an effort to find Cepheids in this galaxy
       which have produced Type I supernovae. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5415 (The Distance to the M-96 Galaxy Group: Cycle
       4 Medium)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of Cepheid variable stars
       within the galaxy NGC-3368 which itself is located in the M-96
       galaxy cluster. This is to help determine the distance to this
       galactic group, and to improve the determination of the Hubble
       constant. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5378 (Morphological Evolution of the Galaxies in
       Clusters at Z=0.5)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy GAL-CLUS-1 to
       study its morphology. The science observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions:


                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 3
                                        Successful : 3

                             Acquisition failed to course track at
                             182/0818Z. Subsequent acquisitions were
                             successful.

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 13
                                        Successful : 13

   2.2 FHST Updates:

                              Scheduled :7
                             Successful :7

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Notes:

       All HST subsystems are performing nominally as operational personnel
       approach the long holiday weekend.

3.0 ANOMALY STATUS:

   3.1 Significant New Anomalies: None

   3.2 Significant Unresolved Anomalies: None

4.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS:

       Nothing at this time.
