PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 08/13/97 - 0000Z (UTC) 08/14/97

Daily Status Report as of 226/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 7621 (WF/PC-2 Cycle 7 Supplemental Darks PT1/3)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make supplemental dark calibration images.
This set of calibrations is intended to obtain three dark frames every day
to provide data for monitoring and characterizing the evolution of hot
pixels.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
noted.

   1.2 Completed STIS/CCD 7659 (Daily Darks to Update Acquisition Bad Pixel
Table)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make dark
calibration images in order to update the acquisition bad pixel table.
Daily hot pixel lists can also be used for science data analysis.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.3 Completed STIS/CCD 7665 (CCD Geometric Distortion)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make
observations of the standard star HD120315 in order to derive the geometric
distortion of CCD first order spectra for those cases {G230LB, G230MB at
1854A} that were missed in ground calibration.  The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 Completed WF/PC-2 6435 (A WF/PC-2 Search for Surviving Binary
Companions in SN Ia Remnants)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the class Ia super nova
remnant SN1006-Cen in order to search for surviving binary companions.  The
type Ia supernovae {SNe Ia} are widely believed to be explosions of white
dwarfs undergoing binary mass accretion.  The observations were completed
as planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.5 Completed Four Sets of NIC/1/2/3 7729 (NICMOS Short One Orbit Parallel)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two, and Three) was used to
obtain "JHK" imaging of sky regions while another instrument was prime.
These observations were  part of the short NICMOS one-orbit parallel
program.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies
were noted.

   1.6 Completed Four Sets of STIS/CCD 7782 (STIS Non-Scripted Parallel
Archive Proposal - Half Orbit)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used for a
non-scripted parallel archive proposal (one-half orbit).  The observations
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.7 Completed STIS/MA2 7644 (STIS NUV-MAMA Monitoring Flats)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (MA2) was used to obtain
Near Ultraviolet-MAMA flat-field observations for the construction of
bi-monthly delta-flats.  The observations were completed as planned, and no
problems were reported.

   1.8 Completed NIC/2 7420 (A Near-Infrared Search for Very Low Mass
Companions to Stars Within 10 Parsecs of the Sun)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Camera Two) was used to make searching
observations for very low mass companions to variable star BD+13D2681.
This star is known to be within 10 parsecs of the Sun.  The observations
were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.9 Completed NIC/1 7255 (NICMOS Observations of JVAS/CLASS
Gravitational Lenses)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Camera One) was used to make observations
of the JVAS class, gravitational lens,  quasi-stellar source QSO-1938+6.
The JVAS/CLASS radio survey has been the most successful to date at finding
arcsecond-scale gravitational lenses, almost doubling the known number (11
lenses found of which 10 are new discoveries).  The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.10 Completed Two Sets of STIS/CCD 7781 (STIS Non-Scripted Parallel
Archive Proposal - Full Orbit)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used for a
non-scripted parallel archive proposal (one full orbit).  No details were
given.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
noted.

   1.11 Completed STIS/MA1 7728 (STIS FUV-MAMA Monitoring Flats)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (MA1) was used for the STIS
MAMA flat monitoring program.  This program will obtain
far-ultraviolet-MAMA flat-field observations for the construction of
delta-flats for selected modes.  The observations were completed as
planned, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.12 Completed NIC/1/2/3 7328 (High Resolution IR Imaging Survey (IRIS)
of the Centers of the Nearest Active Galaxies)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two and Three) was used to
make high resolution infrared observations of the nearest active galaxy
Markarian1 in order to study its inner nuclear region.  Observing in the
near-IR minimizes the dust obstruction and maximizes sensitivity to the old
stellar population which dominates the mass.  The  observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.13 Completed NIC/2 7331 (Near-IR Properties of the Bulges of Spiral
Galaxies)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Camera Two) was used to make infrared
observations of the bulge in spiral galaxy ESO-549G2.  Near-IR data at HST
resolution are essential for correcting for the effect of dust and will
enable us to derive robust nuclear properties for the sample.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.14 Completed NIC/2/3 7424 (NICMOS Imaging of QSO Absorption-- Selected
Galaxies at z > 1)

       The Near-Infrared Camera (Cameras Two and Three) was used to make
observations of QSO/galaxy  Q0450-132.  The images will also be used to
connect the absorption line properties to the galaxy morphological
properties, inclination angles, and orientations in order to continue to
explore the connection between the absorbing gas and the galaxies.  The
observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported.

   1.15 Completed WF/PC-2 7450 (The Formation of Bulges of Spiral Galaxies:
Central Visual-Infrared Color Gradients)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations of the bulge in spiral
galaxy NGC-7331 in order to obtain high-resolution optical and near
infrared images for a complete survey sample of bulges of spiral galaxies.
The observations were completed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
reported.

   2.3 Operations Notes:

       The EPS KRSWCC flight data base was installed at 225/1441Z.  This
software will provide an alternate method of battery charging that would
not be adversely affected by possible entries into safemode.  Part 1 of the
functional test for this installation, due to run for approximately 24
hours, was begun at 225/1445Z and continues to run uneventfully.

       The STIS "bad pixel" table was uplinked at 225/2223Z.

       The SSR interrupt log was dumped at 226/0829Z.

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS:

       Continuation of normal science observations and calibrations.
