Daily Status Report as of 024/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5971 (HST Medium Deep Survey)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a long exposure medium deep sky survey =
observations at latitudes larger than 10 degrees taken in parallel with =
the prime science observations.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 5913 (Low-Mass Binaries and Luminosity Fuction)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the low-mass binary =
system NGP014 (Late Type Class M dwarf stars).  The intent is to determine =
why the local stellar luminosity function is flat below Mv=3D12, while =
that found from more distant stars falls by an order of magnitude by =
Mv=3D14.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.3 Completed FOS/BL 6038 (Winds of Massive Stars in Nearby Galaxies, =
the WR Stars)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the massive Wolf-Rayette star M31-OB78-W =
which is located in the M-33 Galaxy in order to study its stellar winds.  =
The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6250 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Internal =
Monitor)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a series on internal calibration =
observations.  Internal flats, biases, and K-Spot calibration images were =
taken.  These observations are designed to monitor the health of the =
cameras.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.5 Completed FOS/BL 5843 (First Ultraviolet Spectrographic Survey of =
2060 Charon)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (f/48) was used to make ultraviolet =
spectrographic observations of the deep solar-system object 2060-Chiron =
while it is near perihelion.  This will provide information on the =
properties of the surface of Chrion and the gas surrounding it.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
