PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z
Daily Status Report as of 031/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/RD 5441 (The Inner Regions of Quasars: Cycle 4)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make
spectrographic observations of the variable quasar 4C64-15. The observations
will be correlated with radio and X-Ray data for this object. The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies have been reported.

   1.2 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.

   1.3 Completed FGS 5333 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic
Reference frame: BR12-23, Part 2)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of several stars
(i.e., 1404+286IN, 420-REF and INCA221-92) whose apparent position lies near
extragalactic objects. All of these objects have been observed by the
HIPPARCOS satellite. The intent is to tie the HIPPARCOS reference frame to
the extragalactic reference frame. The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.4 Completed FGS 5370 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic
Reference Frame, BR12-23, Part 2)

       The FGSs were used to obtain astrometric observations on several stars
whose apparent positions lie near extragalactic objects. These stars will
also be observed with the HIPPARCOS satellite. The intent is to tie the
HIPPARCOS reference frame to the extragalactic frame. The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 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. There was data lost from one data
group due to a Science Tape Recorder track change. No other anomalies were
noted.

   1.6 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 5574 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 4: Polarization
Proposal)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of G191B2B to obtain both
polarized and unpolarized images of the target to calibrate the instrument.
Visual flat observations was also taken. Fine Lock was lost just before the
start of one exposure. The spacecraft was under gyro control during this
exposure. No other anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed WF/PC-2 5485 (Long Period Variables of M81)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the long period variables
in galaxy M-81 (aka, NGC-3031) to compare to those already studied in our
galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds to learn how much of a role is played by the
environment in which these stars form. The observations were completed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.8 Completed WF/PC-2 5399 (Ultra-deep HST Imaging of the Hawaii Deep
Survey Fields) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make ultra-deep observations of object SSA13.
These fields of view have already been imaged with ground based telescopes,
and with the Faint Object Camera, to survey the galaxy populations. The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.9 Completed of WF/PC-2 5562 (WF/PC-2 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. 

   1.10 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. The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

   1.11 Completed FGS 5337 (Linking the HIPPARCOS to the Extragalactic
Reference Frame: NEWHIP-C)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of NEWEGOC-48,
520-REF, 521-REF, 522-REF and NEWHIP-48 to help tie the HIPPARCOS and
extra-galactic reference frames together. The observations were executed as
scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.12 Completed WF/PC-2 5128 (Search for Primeval Galaxies (FOS 25): Cycle
4 Early ACQ Imaging) 

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the very distant
galaxy/quasar 1442+101 to search for other nearby galaxies that may be at the
same distance. The observations were completed as planned, and no problems
were reported.
