PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 06/19/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 06/20/96

Daily Status Report as of 172/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed GHRS/1 6027 (HST-Galileo Torus Observations)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
observations of the plasma torus which is formed by Jupiter's moon Io.  =
These observations were in coordination with the Galileo and EUVE =
spacecraft, and ground based observations.  These data will provide three =
dimensional information on the torus and give insight into the process =
that determines the shape of the torus and the mechanism for the entry =
and transport of material.  The observations were executed as scheduled, =
and no anomalies were noted. 
 
   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6346 (Snapshot Survey of the Ultraluminous IRAS =
Galaxy Sample-Part 1 High)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot survey observations of the =
ultraluminous IRAS galaxy QDOTULIR.  These data will be searched for =
multiple cores, which imply a merger has occurred, and for starburst =
regions.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.

   1.3 Completed FGS/WF/PC-2 6062 (HD98800, An Extraordinary Star)

       The WF/PC-2 and the FGSs were used to observe HD98800, a nearby =
multiple star with strong infrared emission.  The infrared emission =
presumably comes from a thick disc around the system.  The proposal will =
measure the strength of the Mg II line at 2800A, and will address the =
fundamental questions about disk formation, maintenance, and dynamics.  =
Several other reference stars were also observed.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
