PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 11/20/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 11/21/96

Daily Status Report as of 326/0000Z

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 FOS/BL/GHRS/1 6795 (Sleuthing the Dynamo: The Final =
Frontier)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) and the High Resolution =
Spectrograph (Side One) were used to make ultraviolet observations of =
late-type STAR-0330.  This is to study the nature of its magnetic =
activity, which is thought to be the link between the hydro-magnetic =
dynamo deep inside the star and the violent state of its outer most =
coronal layers.  The observations were completed as planned, and no =
problems were reported.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 7211 (WF/PC-2 Pre-SM97 UV Baseline Observation.)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make far-ultraviolet observations of CVZ =
Class target WD0214+568 as part of a pre-observation baseline of SM97 =
(WF/PC-2 SMOV Calibration).  The observations were completed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed GHRS/1 6800 (Dueterium in the Interstellar Medium Toward =
Hot Stars)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to make =
spectrographic absorption observations of the interstellar medium (ISM) =
along the line-of-sight toward the hot star HD48915.  A wavelength =
calibration observation was also taken.  The deuterium abundance in the =
local ISM toward Sirius A and B will be measured.  The observations were =
completed as scheduled, and no problems were reported. 

   1.5 Completed FOS/RD 6912 (FOS Cycle 6: Dark Monitoring)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
measurements of the internal background.  All exposures were internals, =
and the spectrographic observations were made in the image mode.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
