PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 10/06/95 - 0000Z (UTC) 10/10/95

Daily Status Report as of 283/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOC/96 6160 (FOC Cycle 5 UV Throughput Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Camera (F/96) was used to make ultraviolet
observations of dwarf standard star BPM16254 and also with the internal
calibration lamp in order monitor the ultraviolet throughput of the
FOC/COSTAR/HST combination.  The acquisition at 279/043438Z initially failed
due to the scan step limit being exceeded.  The second attempt resulted in
the acquisition failing to fine lock back-up on FGS-1 only.  HSTAR 5323 was
written.  No other anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6187 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Earth
Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make Earth streak flat calibration images. 
These streak flats will be used to produce flat fields, to map the OTA
illumination pattern and, in combination with other data, to produce new
superflats.  The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were
reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5991 (The Fundamental Plane of Early-Type Galaxies
in X-Ray Clusters at Z=0.0)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of X-Ray galactic cluster
GAL-CLUS-2 in order to measure the scale heights, surface brightness profile,
color distributions and morphology of the cluster.  The observations were
completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

      The FGSs were  used to make observations  of standard stars F-SPECT1,
F-SPECT2 and FFGS3 in order to verify the alignments in the focal plane. 
Dark calibration images were also taken.  At 279/131859Z, SI C&DH status
buffer error 402 occurred, causing the WF/PC Science Data Interface to
disable.  HSTAR 5324 was written for this occurrence.  The interface was
successfully restored at 279/2026Z, but WF/PC science data was affected.  No
other anomalies were reported.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 5991 (The Fundamental Plane of Early-Type Galaxies
in X-Ray Clusters at Z=0.0)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of X-Ray galactic cluster
GAL-CLUS-0 in order to measure the scale heights, surface brightness profile,
color distributions and morphology of the cluster.  The observations were
completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

   2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 27
                                        Successful : 24

       The acquisition at 279/043438Z initially failed due to     
       the scan step limit being exceeded. The second attempt 
       resulted in the acquisition failing to fine lock back-
       up on FGS-1 only. HSTAR 5323 was written.

       The FGS acquisition at 279/205600Z failed to achieve    
       either fine lock or coarse track.  HSTAR 5325 was 
       written to document this event.

       At 280/095357Z, the FGS acquisition failed to fine 
       lock on FGS-1 only,  HSTAR 5326 covered this event.


                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 27
                                        Successful : 27

                             Successful : 64

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       There were some data inversions on day 279 during STGT 
       operations at STGT.  A TTR was written.

       At 279/131859Z, SI C&DH status buffer error 402 
       occurred, causing the WF/PC Science Data Interface
       to disable.  HSTAR 5324 was written for this 
       occurrence.  The interface was successfully restored
       at 279/2026Z, but some WF/PC science data was
       affected.
