1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5560 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal
       Monitor . 1)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make several internal bias, K-Spot, and flat
       calibration observations to monitor the CCD camera electronics, the
       optical alignment, and to check for contamination. A total of ten
       images was taken. Four of the internal flat observations were
       reported to be underexposed. All of the other observations were
       nominal.

   1.2 Completed GHRS/2 5547 (GHRS Side Two Detector Calibrations: Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side 2) was used to make dark, and
       internal flat calibration images to help check the stability of
       four the detectors. Four observations were received and displayed in
       the OSS. They all were reported to look okay.

   1.3 Completed Four Sets of WF/PC-2, GHRS/2 5642 (Observations of the
       Impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy (1993E) and Jupiter)

       The WF/PC-2 and the High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) were
       used to make observations to support the Jupiter/ Shoemaker-Levy
       event. This included the planet and the Io Torus. Twenty-four
       observations were received and displayed. The GHRS observations of
       Io's torus appeared to be okay.

   1.4 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. A total of nine
       observations were received and displayed. They all were reported to
       be okay.

   1.5 Completed Three Sets of FGS 5657 (Duplicity Among Hyades Stars:
       Cycle 4, High)

       The FGSs (TRANS-Mode) were used to make astrometric observations of
       stars VA334, VA673, and VA607 which are located in the Hyades
       cluster in an attempt to find a close binary. The observations were
       executed as scheduled. The astrometric observations were monitored
       in the OSS and no anomalies were noted in the telemetry.

   1.6 Completed Three Sets of 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. Four images from the first two sets of observations
       were received as scheduled, and they were reported to look okay.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5384 (Resolved and Composite Properties of the
       Giant H II Regions of M-33)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of an H II region within
       galaxy M-33 known as M33-NEB. A total of sixteen observations was
       received and displayed. They all were reported to look nominal.

   1.8 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5476 (Continuum Snapshot of 3CR
       Radio Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxies
       3C83.1, 3C114.0, 3C305.1, 3C460.0, and  3C19.0 as part of a
       continuum survey and to study the galaxies' morphology. Four of the
       observations were monitored, and reported to be okay.

   1.9 Completed FOC/96 5144 (Study of Optical Emission Associated With the
       Radio Jets and Hot Spots)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96 ) was used to make observations of
       optical emissions from the jet and hot spots of galaxy NGC-5252.
       Two observations were received and displayed. They both were
       reported to be okay.

   1.10 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. Four observations were received and displayed. They all
       were reported to be nominal.

   1.11 Completed Two sets of WF/PC-2 5479 (Subarcsecond Structure in
        Nearby AGNs)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a snapshot observation of the nearby
       active galactic nuclei of WAS41. The observation was received and
       displayed in the OSS. Although part of the targeted galaxy was in
       the field of view, the nucleus was beyond the edge.

   1.12 Completed WF/PC-2 5629 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Photometric Calibration
        Monitor 1C: 4-Chip STD in F170W)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric calibration observations of 
the
       ultraviolet standard star GRW+70D582. Two observations were executed
       as scheduled, and they both were reported to look okay.

   1.13 Completed WF/PC-2 5397 (Determination of the Extragalactic Distance
        Scale: Cycle 4 High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of galaxy NGC-7331 to be used in
       measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxy.
       The baseline guide start acquisition failed with the search radius
       limit exceeded for FGS #1 As a result the shutter simply toggled for
       the observation. (See Note 2.1)

   1.14 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 sixteen images
       were received and displayed. Twelve observations were either
       saturated or underexposed, the others were reported to be okay.

   1.15 Completed WF/PC-2 5395 (High Spatial Resolution Imaging of the
        Pre-Main Sequence Binary Stars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultraviolet observations of pre-main
       sequence binary star UZ-Tau. Eleven observations were received and
       displayed. They all were reported to be okay.

   1.16 Completed WF/PC-2 5446 (The Nuclei of Nearby S0 and Spiral
        Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-4429 to
       study its active galactic nuclei. The observations were executed as
       scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.17 Completed GHRS/2 5599 (GHRS Side 2 Sensitivity Monitor: Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to make some long term
       sensitivity monitoring by making observations of standard star
       BD+28D4211. The observations were executed as scheduled, and the
       observations remain on Science tape recorder #3. They will be
       analyzed later.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions:

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 22
                                        Successful : 21


                            At 204/2308Z FGS 1 and 3 failed to acquire the
                            designated guide star. This was due to large
                            vehicle errors. An ARU/PRT was successfully
                            uplinked to the spacecraft, and the subsequent
                            reacquisition was successful.

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 18
                                        Successful : 18
