Daily Status Report as of 330/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 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.

   1.2 Completed FGS 7210 (Transfer Scan Check)

       The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of star =
INCA221-16 in order to execute a transfer scan check.  These observations =
will be used to determine the possible multiplicity of three SMOV target =
candidates.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted. 

   1.3 Completed Three Sets of 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.  T=
he observations were completed as planned, and no problems were reported.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6188 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 5 Calibration: Dark)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal dark calibration images.  =
The observations were completed as scheduled, and no problems were =
reported.

   1.5 Completed Six Sets of FOS/RD 6914 (FOS Cycle 6: Location of =
Spectra and Wavelength Calibration - Red Side)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make both a =
TALED and a wavelength calibration image.  All observations were made =
using internal light sources.  This proposal will be executed a total of =
12 time during cycle 6 (i.e., once per month).  The observations were =
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.6 Completed FOS/RD 6585 (UV Spectra of Representative Stellar =
Populations of Age > 2)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
mid-ultraviolet spectrographic observations of nuclear region of nearby =
galaxy NGC-7619.  This galaxy has a relatively old stellar population.  =
The objective is to fill in crucial gaps in our understanding of stellar =
populations, and thus aid in the modeling of galactic evolution.  The =
observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.7 Completed Three Sets of WF/PC-2 7202 (The WF/PC-2 B Band Parallel =
Survey: A Systematic and Synoptic Study of Galaxy Formation and Evolution =
- Short Orbit Case)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations as part of a B-Band =
Survey to make synoptic study of galaxy formation and evolution.  These =
observations were taken in parallel with the prime science observations.  =
They were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.8 Completed GHRS/1 6897 (Cycle 6: Condensed-Regimen Integrated =
Monitoring Program for Side One of the GHRS)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to used to =
perform a Condensed-Reigman Integrated Monitoring Calibration.  Object =
BD28D4211 was observed.  This proposal combines into one program several =
aspects of instrument monitoring that ordinarily execute at the same =
frequency of two times per year.  A Wavelength calibration image was also =
taken.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted. 

   1.9 Completed FOS/RD/GHRS/1 5934 (A Search for UV Absorption Lines in =
the Intracluster Medium of Abell Cluster 1030)

Spectrograph (Side One) were both used to make observations of the QSO =
B21028+313 in order to look for ultraviolet absorption lines in a search =
for an intracluster medium in Abell Cluster 1030.  Recent low energy =
observations suggest that such a medium exists.  A wavelength calibration =
image was also taken.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and =
no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed GHRS/1/2 6665 (Galaxy Rotation Curves at Large Radius =
Using Lyman-Alpha Absorption Line)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Both Sides One and Two) was used =
to make spectrographic observations of the background QSO PG0923+201 =
through the disk of two foreground spiral galaxies in order to obtain the =
galaxy's rotation curve by studying the structure of the Lyman-Alpha =
lines.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies =
were noted. 

   1.11 Completed Two Sets of GHRS/2 6898 (CRIMP2: Cycle 6 =
Condensed-Regimen Internal Monitoring Program)

spectrographic observations of the unique DO Class, helium rich, white =
dwarf star REJ0503-28 in order to study its stellar winds and =
photosphere.  This white dwarf star also has a planetary nebula =
surrounding it.  This is the only white dwarf star in which on going mass =

completed as planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.13 Completed FOS/BL 6484 (Absorbing Outflows in Quasars and AGNs)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was used to make high =
signal-to-noise ratio spectrographic observations of the active galactic =
nuclei of REJ0503-28 in order to study its absorbing outflows and =
physical conditions.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no =
anomalies were noted.

   1.14 Completed WF/PC-2 6802 (Cosmology With the Medium Deep Survey)

anomalies were noted. 

   1.16 Completed FOS/BL 6717 (UV Spectroscopy of the Luminous Cooling =
Flow Nebula in A2597)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side) was to be used to make =
ultraviolet observations of the nuclear regions within the luminous, =
cooling flow, nebula A2597. Just before this 10 and one-half hour =
proposal was to begin, the FOS safed and remained that way for the =
duration of the scheduled proposal event.  See Section 2.3 for details of =
the safing and recovery.

   1.17 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6609 (The WF/PC-2 B-Band Parallel =

as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 

1.18 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6909 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Calibration: =
Earth Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the bright Earth to =

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       The FOS safed at 329/112618Z, caused by a high voltage spike.  The =
instrument was recovered successfully by real-time procedures at =
229/2258Z, and the instrument then went to high voltage nominally at =
approximately 330/0036Z.  HSTARs 5804 and 5805 were written to describe =
this event.

       PACOR-II reported one missing and three corrupted packets in a =
WF/PC-2 observation packet.  STR #1 was re-dumped prior to the next =
record session and the data was successfully recovered.
