1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/BL 5498 (Flickering as a Probe of Accretion Disk
       Structures)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used in the rapid mode
       to obtain spectra of the cataclysmic variable star V603-AQL.
       "Flickering" has been observed in stars of this type due to the
       accretion process. The flickering rate will be compared in the
       ultraviolet and longer wavelengths.  The observations were executed
       as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 5371 (HST Medium_ Deep Survey: Cycle 4
       Medium Low Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make low galactic latitude deep multicolor images of objects such 
as
       galaxies, and stars in our galaxy. The observations were completed 
as
       planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5479 (Subarcsecond Structure in Nearby AGNs)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot observations of the nearby
       active galactic nuclei of ESOP138-G1 to study the interactions 
between
       the central engine, the stars, and the interstellar matter in the 
AGN.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.4 Completed Four Sets of FOS/BL 5444 (A UV Spectral Library of Metal-
       Poor Massive Stars)

       The FOS (Blue Side) was used for a snapshot program to obtain
       ultraviolet spectra of BI170, a metal-poor star in the LMC.  It will
       be useful for stellar atmosphere and stellar evolution studies. The
       observations completed without incident.

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 5676 (UV Spectroscopy and Imaging in the Crab
       Nebula)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to obtain spectra
       of several knots and filaments (WM09-0542) in the Crab supernova 
remnant
       to refine the estimates the chemical abundances which are needed for
       comparison with stellar evolution  and the nucleosynthesis theory. 
The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were 
noted.
