PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 06/26/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 06/27/96

Daily Status Report as of 179/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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.

   1.2 Completed GHRS/2/1 6008 (The Atmosphere of IO and Its Interaction =
With the Plasma Torus)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Sides One and Two) were used to =
make ultraviolet spectrographic observations of the atmosphere of =
Jupiter's moon Io during egress from the planet's shadow.  This is to =
study temporal changes in the emission lines of O and S.  The observations=
 were completed as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6347 (A Search for Jets in Planetary Nebulae)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the planetary nebulae =
(class PNe) HE117970 in order to search for the presence of possible =
narrow jets.  The current model for PNe formation indicates that jets are =
an unexpected phenomena.  Yet there is a growing body of circumstantial =
evidence that suggests narrow jets are common features in PNe.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/1 6550 (Understanding the Simplest Symbiotic =
System(s) II.

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of an eclipse of the binary system HD117970 =
(aka, RW Hydrae) in order to study their symbiotic relationship.  This =
symbiotic star system is one with a red and one hot component and known =
to have emission lines in its spectra.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6193 (PSF Characterization)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make several observational images  of the =
large globular cluster Omega Cen using the main photometric filters.  =
During these exposures the spacecraft executed a 4X4 dwell scan so that =
the images of the object fell at 16 different locations on the CCDs.  =
This is to sample the point spread function (PSF).  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6509 (Jovian Global Photometry during the =
Galileo Epoch)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the planet Jupiter to =
coincide which observations taken with the Galileo spacecraft.  These =
data will be used to study the vertical aerosol structure of the Jovian =
atmosphere as well as its spatial and temporal variability.  The =
observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 5
                                        Successful : 5

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 9
                                        Successful : 9

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 12
                             Successful : 12

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       Realtime operations were conducted uneventfully in the SAMS =
facility from 178/1230Z until 178/2200Z.

       A TTR was written for data losses suffered during two scheduled eve=
nts due to severe weather at WSGTU between 179/0321Z and 179/0432Z.

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: 

        Nothing at this time.
