HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1893 PERIOD COVERED: 0000Z (UTC) 06/05/97 - 0000Z (UTC) 06/06/97 Daily Status Report as of 157/0000Z 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed Seven Sets of NIC/1/2/3 7676 (NICMOS-One Orbit Parallel) The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two and Three) was used to conduct an on-orbit calibration procedure. This was done in parallel with the prime science observations. The procedure was completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.2 Completed Eight Sets of STIS/CCD 7675 (STIS Non-Scripted Parallel Archive Proposal) The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used in the parallel mode to obtain slitless spectroscopy with the G750L grism to search for emission line galaxies at intermediate to high redshift. The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported. 1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 6360 (A Snapshot Survey of "Radio-Loud" IRAS Galaxies) The WF/PC-2 was used to make snapshot survey observations of the "radio-loud" IRAS galaxy Gal-2130-0. The instrument was used to discern high surface brightness structures in its post-starburst active nuclear regions. The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 5967 (Imaging Clusters of Galaxies at Z>1) The WF/PC-2 was used to make deep images of the galaxy cluster 3C267 which is know to have a redshift of Z>1 to study its galaxies' morphologies. The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported. 1.5 Completed WF/PC-2 6553 (Dissecting 3C-324: Anatomy of an Aligned Radio Galaxy at Z=1.206) The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the aligned radio galaxy 3C324 which is known to have a red shift of Z=1.206. This is a prototypical example of the radio galaxy "alignment effect", where the spatial orientation of the rest-frame of the ultraviolet continuum emission is closely aligned with the major axis of the FRII radio source. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.6 Completed Two Sets of NIC/1/2/3 7701 (NICMOS Short One Orbit Parallel) The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two and Three) was used as part of a short NICMOS one orbit parallel program, to obtain "JHK" imaging of sky regions when another instruments prime. The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 1.7 Completed STIS/CCD 7036 (NICMOS SAA Contour Test) The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make observations of an object as the spacecraft passed through the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) in order to obtain data to plot the contour plot of the radiation effects. This test is to determine optimal SAA limits for detector operations, and determine orbital radiation effects on the NICMOS dark current when coming out of the SAA. A waveline calibration image was also taken. The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported. 1.8 Completed Four 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 obtain streak flats which are used to construct high quality flat fields for the WF/PC-2 filter set. The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted. 1.9 Completed STIS/MA1/MA2 7064 (STIS SMOV MAMA Contamination Monitor) The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (MA1/MA2) was used to make observations of the flux from standard star GRW+70D582 in order to monitor for any gross changes over time that might indicate contamination. The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were reported. 2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY: 2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: Scheduled Acquisitions : 6 Successful : 6 Scheduled Reacquisitions : 9 Successful : 9 2.2 FHST Updates: Scheduled : 14 Successful : 14 2.3 Operations Notes: A SIP to support an FOC acquisition was issued at 157/0232Z. 3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: Continuation of normal science and SMOV operations. /DMH
