PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 05/14/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 05/15/96

Daily Status Report as of 136/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/BL/GHRS/1 5947 (The Relationship Between Galaxies =
and Lyman-Alpha Absorbers at Low Redshift)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) and the High Resolution =
Spectrograph (Side One) were used to make observations of Quasar =
Q1214+180 to study the relation ship between its galaxy and Lyman-Alpha =
Absorbers at Low Redshift.  The relationship between the galaxy and low =
column density, metal poor quasar absorbers is poorly understood.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.2 Completed 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.

   1.3 Completed FOS/RD 6577 (An Expanded Survey for Study of the =
Lyman-Alpha Line and QSO Mg II Absorption)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
observations of the QSO PKS0823-22 in order to make a survey of the =
Lyman-Alpha line and the 68 Mg II absorption line system.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.4 Completed FOC/96 6349 (Snapshot search for High Redshift QSOs with =
Far-UV Flux)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make snapshot images of =
the quasi-stellar object Q0351-390.  This is to determine if this high =
redshifted object has a far ultraviolet flux.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 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.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6009 (Jovian Stratospheric and Tropospheric =
Circulation and Structure)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make high resolution, multi-filter =
observations of the planet Jupiter to study its stratospheric and =
tropospheric circulation and structure.  This study is being done several =
months before and after the Galileo probe entered the atmosphere on Dec. =
7, 1995.  The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were reported.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

   2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 7
                                        Successful : 5

       The acquisition at 136/020909Z failed to fine lock on FGS #1 only, =
as documented in HSTAR 5610.  HSTAR 5611 decribes another acquisition at =
136/022121Z which failed t=F8 fine lock on FGS #3 only.

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 9
                                        Successful : 9



   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 15
                             Successful : 15

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       There were no reported operational problems.

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: 

        Nothing at this time.
