PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 01/31/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 02/01/96

Daily Status Report as of 032/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6253 (Pure Parallel Archive Program)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to execute a pure parallel program taking =
ultraviolet observations running concurrently with prime science =
observations.  The intent is to search for extra-galactic sources with =
flux excesses at 3000 A0 and galactic sources with excesses at 1600 A0.  =
The observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.2 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.

   1.3 Completed GHRS/2 5894 (The Hot Gaseous Halo of the Large Magellanic =
Cloud)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
observations of star SK-69.110 located in the Large Magellanic Cloud in =
order to study the cloud's hot gaseous halo.  The spectrographic =
observations were used to search for interstellar C IV absorption lines in =
the line of sight to the star.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed FOS/RD 6018 (Reading the "Rosetta Stone": GHRS =
Spectroscopy of Individual Stars)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
observations of individual stars (i.e., Melnick-34, et al) located in =
R136A which in turn is located in the Large Magellanic cloud.  The goal is =
to obtain a better understanding of the evolution of very massive stars.  =
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       ESTR #2 remains in a powered off state pending the completion of =
the investigation of the high motor current anomaly.
