Daily Status Report as of 015/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Two Sets of FOS/RD 6916 (FOS/Cycle 6:Photometric =
Calibration)

       The Faint Object Spectrograph (Red Side) was used to make =
ultraviolet photometric calibration images of standard star BD+28D4211 =
using the 4.3 arcsecond aperture.  The observations were completed as =
planned, and no problems were reported. 

   1.2 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.

   1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6907 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Calibration: Internal =
Flats)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make internal flat filter sweep =
calibration images.  This is a series of exposures to test the linearity =
of the camera.  The observations were completed as planned and no =
problems were reported. 

   1.4 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6904 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 6 Cal.:Darks)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make a series of dark calibration images =
as part of a standard calibration within Cycle 6.  This calibration =
procedure is performed once per week as part of an on-going CCD =
calibration to be used to monitor and characterize hot pixels.  The =
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.5 Completed GHRS/2 6620 (Density Diagnostics for the Dynamic =
Atmospheres of LPV Stars)

       The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side Two) was used to make =
observations of LPV (Long Period Variable) Mira class star HD84748 in =
order to study its density dynamics and other atmospheric properties.  =
These data will be compared with similar GHRS spectra obtained for =
semi-regular variable stars.  The observations were completed as planned, =
and no problems were reported.

   1.6 Completed WF/PC-2 7203 (Cosmology with the Medium Deep Survey - =
Short Orbit Cases)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to take short (about 20 minute) exposures, =
taken in parallel with the prime science observations, using the I =
filter.  These exposures are part of the medium-deep survey, which =
emphasizes exposures that will be useful in obtaining cosmological =
parameters.  The observations were completed as planned, and no problems =
were reported.
