Daily Status Report as of 213/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of 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.

   1.2 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6903 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Calibration: =
Decontamination)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make several calibration bias =
observations, internal flats, K-Spot images and dark calibration images =
which are all part of a Cycle 6 decontamination procedure.  No science =
was interleaved with the dark exposures.  The observations were completed =
as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.3 Completed GHRS/1 6758 (Far UV airglow and Albedo Observations of =
Europa and Ganymede)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make far =
ultraviolet spectrographic observations of the airglow and albedo of =
Jupiter's moon Europa (at Western Elongation).  The long term stability =
of the oxygen airglow emission and the magnitude of the hemisphere =
asymmetry will be determined.  The observations were completed as =
planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.4 Completed FOS/BL 6766 (Narrow Line Seyfert 1S and the Iron Enigma =
in Active Galaxies)

       The FOS (Blue Side) was used to make observations of the 1S class =
narrow-lined Seyfert galaxy WPVS007 in order to study its iron enigma.  =
These data should show correlations between its x-ray spectra, =
kinematics, and Fe II spectra.  The observations were completed as =
planned and no problems were reported

   1.5 Completed GHRS/1 6692 (The Abundance and Distribution of Deuterium =
on Saturn)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
observations of the limb of the planet Saturn and its moon Rhea in order =
to study the abundances and distribution o Deuterium in Saturn's upper =
atmosphere.  The GHRS aperture was allowed to drift across Saturn's limb, =
mimicking an occultation.  A wavelength calibration image was also taken. =
 The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were =
noted. 

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 6902 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Photometric Calibration =
Monitor UV/OPT STD)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make both ultraviolet and optical =
photometric observations of the standard star GRW+70D582 as part of a =
Cycle 6 calibration procedure.  This observations was done immediately =
before and after decontamination procedures.  The observations were =
completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 6
                                        Successful : 6

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 9
                                        Successful : 9

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 12
                             Successful : 12

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

        Ten minutes, 34 seconds of real-time, re-coverable data was lost =
when there was a problem with the WSGTU MA antenna.  A TTR was written.

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: 

        Nothing at this time.
