PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 07/02/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 07/03/96

Daily Status Report as of 185/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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 QDOTULIR03.  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.

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 6752 (Global Mapping of the Opposition Surge on =
the Galilean Satellites)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the planet Jupiter's =
moons Callisto, Europa, Io and Ganymede while Jupiter is in opposition.  =
The brightness at opposition (The Opposition Effect) is common to Solar =
System bodies without atmospheres.  Differences in surface roughness and =
structure affect the amount and phase-angle shape dependence in the =
brightening.  The proposal was executed as scheduled 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) NGC6210 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 feature in PNe.  The =
observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   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 Q1607+183.  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 FOS/BL 6297 (Probing The Black Hole Environment: The =
Nuclear Spectrum of M-87)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the central nuclear region of galaxy =
NGC-4486 (aka, M-87) to probe its black hole environment.  The =
observations were completed  as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.6 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.

   1.7 Completed FOC/48 6308 (Long Slit Spectroscopy of the Narrow Line =
Region of Seyfert Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Camera (f/48) was used to make long slit =
spectrographic observations of the narrow line region of Seyfert galaxy =
NGC-4151.  The slit was placed at several different positions across the =
nuclear region of the target.  An internal flat and a dark calibration =
images were also taken.  The proposal was executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were reported.

   1.8 Completed Two Sets of WF/P-2 6254 (GTO Pure Parallel Program - =
Cycle 5)

       The WF/PC-2 was use to make random long exposures of high galactic =
fields taken in parallel with the prime science observations to obtain a =
random sample of galaxies.  The observations were executed as scheduled, =
and no anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed FOS/RD 6167 (FOS Cycle 5: Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make several =
dark calibration images.  All exposures were internals.  All spectra was =
done in the image mode.  The observations were completed as planned, and =
no problems were reported.

   1.10 Completed FOS/RD 6007 (Comparison of Large Scale Structures in =
QSO Absorbers and Galaxies)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make observati=
ons of Lyman-Alpha absorber QSO CSO179 to do a comparison study of its =
large scale structure.  This target was selected as a deep, redshifted =
galaxy from a survey which already exists.  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.11 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.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

   2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 5
                                        Successful : 5

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 10
                                        Successful : 10

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 7
                             Successful : 7

       As documented in HSTAR 5645, there was an FHST map failure because =
there were no stars in FHST #1.

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       A TTR was written that described a MA return link drop-out that =
was caused by a WSGTU hardware problem.

       Realtime operations returned to the MOR at 184/2115Z following the =
conclusion of GSFC Internal Simulation #7 (Deploy).

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: 

        Nothing at this time.
