PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 03/20/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 03/21/96

Daily Status Report as of 081/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 6359 (Core Properties of the Bulges of Spiral =
Galaxies)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot survey observations of =
spiral galaxy NGC3885 in order to study its central bulge.  The aim is to =
investigate the core properties, correlations with global galactic =
properties, and the frequency of occurrence of multiple and/or =
miscentered nuclei.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed FOS/RD 6089 (Eclipse Mapping and Tomography of the UV =
Emitting Region of DQ Her)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make Rapid =
Mode ultraviolet observations of the eclipsing binary star 14Aur-C in =
order to do eclipse mapping and tomographic studies.  Observations were =
made of both the ultraviolet continuum and emission lines.  A wavelength =
calibration image was also taken.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5996 (The Morphology of Field Galaxies at High =
Redshifts)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations  of several high =
redshift field galaxies (Field-1000) in order to study their =
morphologies.  The observations were completed as planned, and no =
anomalies were reported.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6276 (Peculiar and Interacting Galaxies (WC01): =
Cycle 5)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of galaxy NGC-6745.  The =
spatial resolution afforded by the HST is expected to reveal important =
facts concerning the nature of this object.  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

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 9
                                        Successful : 9

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 10
                             Successful : 10

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       HST operations transitioned to the SAMS back-up facility from =
080/1500Z to 080/2330Z while maintenance was performed on the LAN in the =
MOR area.  No problems were encountered.

       The first portion of the ESTR re-conditioning was completed at =
080/1644Z.  Another session is to occur today.

       There was a non-recoverable 12-minute, 11-second realtime data =
loss during STGT operations.  A TTR was written.

       As described in HSTAR 5538, during a Solar Array slew from =
approximately 68 degrees to 12 degrees at 077/205547Z, the plus wing posit=
ion error exceeded the PRS limit of 6 degrees by 0.103 degrees.  The =
position came back into bounds at 077/205611Z. 


3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS:
