PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 02/13/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 02/14/96

Daily Status Report as of 045/0000Z

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 Four Sets of WF/PC-2 6188 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: =
Dark)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal dark calibration images.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5972 (Determination of the Extragalactic Distance =
Scale)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the galaxy NGC-2090 =
looking for standard candle Cepheid variable stars.  The purpose of this =
observations is to help estimate the Hubble constant with an accuracy of =
10%.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted.

   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 of 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 WF/PC-2 5989 (Imaging of CL1358+62 and Its Environs: the =
Morphology-Density Relation))

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make imaging observations of galactic =
cluster CL1358+62 (aka, Gal-Clus-1) in order to study the morphology of =
the galaxy as a function of its position in the cluster.  The observations =
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

   2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 6
                                        Successful : 6

       There was a loss of lock at 045/003938Z, after a successful =
acquisition at 045/003352Z.  The second acquisition attempt at 045/004320Z =
was successful, but two of the WF-PC-2 observations for proposal 5657 were =
lost when the take data flag was not up.  These events are documented in =
HSTAR 5502.

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 4
                                        Successful : 4

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 13
                             Successful : 13

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       HST operations transferred to the SAMS backup facility for the =
duration of the pre-simulation set-up and for the continuation and =
completion of GSFC Simulation #1.  No problems were encountered.

       ESTR #2 remains powered off pending conclusion of the high motor =
current anomaly investigation.

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: 

        Nothing at this time.
