PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 07/11/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 07/12/96

Daily Status Report as of 194/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed FOS/BL 6465 (The UV Upturn of Super-Metal-Rich Globular =
Clusters)
'
       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make =
ultraviolet spectrographic observations of the super-metal-rich globular =
cluster NGC-224-G17 which is located within the Andromeda Galaxy (aka, =
M-31) in order to observe the spectral energy distribution of this =
cluster.  The objective is to determine whether the strong ultraviolet =
fluxes seen in the galaxy can also be seen in this cluster.  The =
observations were executed as  scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.2 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.

   1.3 Completed GHRS/2 6714 (Be+Helium Star Binaries)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
spectrographic observations of the Be+Helium, long period variable, =
binary system star HD10516 (aka, Phi Per).  The objective is to determine =
whether such bright Be class stars are all binaries with unseen, =
stripped-down, helium star components.  The IUE satellite has also viewed =
this star.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted.
