1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5629 (Cycle 4 Photometric Calibration Monitor 1C)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make photometric calibration observations of
       the ultraviolet standard star GRW+70D582. The observations were
       executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 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 HEAO0448-0 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 Four Sets of 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.

   1.4 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 3C63.0,
       3C13.3, and 3C28.0 as part of a continuum survey and to study the
       galaxies' morphology. The observations were executed as scheduled,
       and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5508 (Tracking Features in Titan's Lower
       Atmosphere and on Its 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.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5343 (Imaging of Nearby Bright Quasars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of the bright quasar PHL909. The
       goal is to study the morphology of this galaxy, and to see how it
       differs from non-QSO galaxies. They also will be looking for the
       relationship between the properties of the host galaxy and the
       luminosity of the quasar. The observations were completed as
       planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.7 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5655 (Cycle 4 Calibration:
       Internal Monitor 2 - Flats Part 2)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make both dark and visual flats. The
       observations were completed as planned, and no problems were
       reported.


   1.8 Completed HRS/2 5468 (The Mass of the White Dwarf of V471 Tauri:
       Cycle 4 Medium)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side 2) was used to observe the
       white dwarf in the eclipsing binary system, V471 Tau.  The
       observations were made when the target was at positions of greatest
       elongations on each side of the companion star.  The target's
       velocity curve was found from the strong Lyman Alpha absorption, and
       will be used to calculate the mass.  A guide star recentering event
       was reported lasting for a total of four seconds.

   1.9 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.

   1.10 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 NGC925 to be used in
       measuring the periods of Cepheid variable stars within the galaxy.
       Two guide star recentering events were reported lasting for a total
       of six seconds.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

                             Successful : 14

   2.3 Significant HSTARs: None

   2.4 Operations Notes:

       No significant problems occurred aboard the HST during this
       operational day. However, SSA command capability was lost to the HST
       for three TDRSS events due to a problem with the SSA2 transmitter
       power supply at WSGT. Since a critical load had to be uplinked
       during the outage, a TDRS-Spare service was requested and
       successfully used. The WSGT problem has since been corrected.

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.
