PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z
Daily Status Report as of 301/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed 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 observations 
were
       completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5390 (Observations of the Abated Companion of an
       Eclipsing Pulsar)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the eclipsing binary
       pulsar PRS1957+20 to obtain minimum light, in order to determine the
       temperature of the cool "backside" of the companion star. The
       observations were completed as planned, and no problems were 
reported.

   1.3 Completed GHRS/2 5600 (GHRS Side 2 Wavelength Monitor (1st Order
       Gratings): Cycle 4)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make
       wavelength and resolution calibration observations of its first 
order
       gratings using the internal calibration lamp. The observations were
       completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.4 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 MARK595 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.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2  5476 (Continuum Snapshots of 3CR Radio Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot images of radio galaxy 3C107.0
       as part of a continuum survey and to study the galaxy's morphology. 
The
       observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were 
noted.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 5447 (The Nature of Primeval Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep polarization observations of the
       distant, massive galaxy MGO406-244 to look for molecular gas, dust, 
and
       star formation. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no
       anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5571 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4 Calibration: Earthflats,
       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.

   1.8 Completed FGS 5316 (Masses of Pre-Main Sequence Stars: Cycle 4
       Medium)

       The Fine Guidance Sensors were used in the TRANS Mode to make
       astrometric observations of the pre-main sequence binary star DF-Tau 
in
       the Taurus star forming region. The FGS data will provide the 
apparent
       orbits.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no 
anomalies
       were noted.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 5370 (HST Medium-Deep Survey: Cycle 4 High, High
       Galactic Latitude)

       The WF/PC-2 was used in parallel with the prime science observations
       to make high galactic latitude observations as part of a medium-deep 
sky
       survey. The observations were completed as planned, and no problems 
were
       reported.

   1.10 Completed FOS/BL 5169 (High Res. Spect. of the Nuclius of NGC-4151:
       Cycle 4 High)

       The FOS was commanded to a safe condition, and no observations
       were taken.

   2.4 Operations Notes:

       The battery #6 capacity test continues.  Discharge was autonomously
       terminated at 15 volts at 300/1353Z.  Capacity was approximately
       75.5 A-h at the utility point (versus the predicted capacity of
       86.5 A-h, based on the 1992 calibration curve).  Re-charge is in
       progress.  Battery #6 will be placed on line when its loadshare is
       equal to or greater than 80% of the average loadshare of the other
       five batteries, and the ground calculated battery SOC is at least
       470 A-h.

       FOS was returned to a safe condition at 300/1422Z.  Realtime
       recovery procedures will be re-initiated at 301/1427Z.

3.0 ANOMALY STATUS:
