Daily Status Report as of 286/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed GHRS/2 5889 (Probing the Outer Galaxy Halo)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph ( Side Two) was used to make =
absorption light spectrographic observations of active galactic nuclei =
PKS2155-30 in order to probe the outer galactic halo looking for highly =
ionized gas (N V, and C IV). A wavelength calibration image was also =
taken. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted.

1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5938 (The Underlying Nature of Nearby BL Lac =
Objects)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations for the BL Lac object =
PKS2254+07 to determine if this object is a relatively nearby or lensed =
distant object. The observations were completed as planned, and no =
problems were reported.

   1.3 Completed 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.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/2 5961 (The D/H Ratio in Double QSO Absorption =
System Towards Q0454+220)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the Lyman Alpha line toward QSO Q0454-220 =
in order to study the Deuterium to Hydrogen ratio. A wavelength =
calibration image was also taken. The observations were completed as =
planned, and no problems were reported.
