                       DAILY REPORT #1782

PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 12/18/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 12/19/96

Daily Status Report as of 354/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

       The following scheduled proposals did not
       execute due to the safemode event which occurred
       at 352/0213Z:

1.1 GHRS/1 6422 (Spin Cycle Variations of the UV Emission 
    Lines of Intermediate Polars)
1.2 Two Sets of WF/PC-2 7211 (WF/PC-2 Pre-SM97 UV Baseline 
    Observation.)
1.3 FOS/BL 6682 (Geometry and Generalizability of the Reflected 
    Light Model for Seyfert Galaxies)
1.4 FGS 6920 (Monitoring the Long Term Stability of FGS #3)
1.5 One iteration of WF/PC-2 6253 (Pure Parallel Archive 
    Program)
1.6 One iteration of FOS/BL 6053 (Extreme UV Stars in Omega 
    Cent)

       Normal science operations were resumed at 353/2200Z.

1.7 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.

1.8 Completed FOS/BL 6053 (Extreme UV Stars in Omega Cent)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Blue Side)  was used to make =
spectrographic observations of extremely ultraviolet bright stars in =
globular cluster NGC-5139 (aka, Omega Cent).  These stars were also =
viewed by the UIT on ASTRO-1.  The observations were executed as =
scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 3
                                        Successful : 3

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 4
                                        Successful : 4

2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 11
                             Successful : 09

       Update failures occurred at 353/1225Z and 353/1710Z.

2.3 Operations Notes: 

       There was a 38-minute, 11-second 32k unrecoverable loss of data, =
beginning at 353/1748Z, due to software problems at WSGT.

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: 

        SM2 JIS #7 (Rendezvous) is scheduled for tomorrow.
