PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z
Daily Status Report as of 287/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of 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 MARK567, ESO137-G34, and ESO139-G126211 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.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5508 (Tracking Features in Titan's Lower
       Atmosphere and on It's Surface)

       The WF/PC-2 obtained images of Saturn's moon Titan to look for cloud
       features, and possibly surface features.  The observations completed
       with no reported errors, despite the acquistion failure to coarse
       track reported in 2.1.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5221 (The Vertical Structure of the Atmosphere
       of Neptune)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the Planet Neptune to 
study
       the structure and composition of the clouds and haze in the upper
       regions of its atmosphere. The observations were executed as 
scheduled,
       and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5453 (Deep Imaging of the Giant Luminous Arcs in
       CL0024+16))

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the rich cluster of
       galaxies known as CL0024+16 which contain several luminous arcs, 
which
       are presumably caused by gravitational lensing of a background 
galaxy.
       The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5571 (Cycle 4 Calibration: Earth Flats, Smaller
       Set)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make several ultraviolet and narrow-band 
filter
       Earth flat calibration observations to correct for the telescope's
       illumination pattern. The observations were completed as planned, 
and
       no problems were reported.

   1.7 Completed FOS/BL 5676 (UV Spectroscopy and Imaging of the Crab
       Crab Nebula - Carryover)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to obtain spectra
       of several knots and filaments (WM18-05343) in the Crab supernova 
remnant
       to refine the estimates the chemical abundances which are needed for
       comparison with stellar evolution  and the nucleosynthesis theory.
       During the observations there was a recentering event which lasted
       for six seconds.  Otherwise, the observations executed as scheduled,
       and no other anomalies were noted.

   1.8 Completed FOC/48 5582 (Monthly Activation - Camera Section Only)

       This proposal was executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
       noted.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5562 (Cycle 4 Calibration: Internal Monitor 3:
       Darks)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to obtain several 30-minute long, dark 
exposures to
       provide ongoing calibration of the CCD dark current and to monitor 
and
       characterize the evolution of hot pixels. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

    2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions:

                            Scheduled Acquisitions :  6
                                        Successful :  6

                          (The primary acquisition at 286/0450
                          failed to coarse track due to the
                          scan step limit being exceeded.  This
                          occurrence reported in HSTAR 4949)
