PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 08/26/97 - 0000Z (UTC) 08/27/97

Daily Status Report as of 239/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed Three Sets of 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/MA2 7604 (Cycle 7 MAMA Dark Mea7726
surements)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (MA2) was used to make MAMA
dark measurements.  These darks will be used in later image reductions and
also trended over the instrument's life time as an indicator of the
detector's degradation or damage.  The observations were completed as
scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.3 Completed Three Sets of NIC/1/2/3 7412 (An HST/NICMOS Search for
Young Brown Dwarfs and Giant Planets)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two and Three) was used to
make observations taken in parallel with the prime science observations to
be part of a survey to look for large planets and/or small brown dwarf
stars which are in orbit around T-Tauri class stars.  At an age of 2 to 20
million years these low-mass companions will be considerably brighter than
more evolved brown dwarfs or giant planets orbiting main-sequence stars,
and hence will be much easier to detect.  The observations were completed
as planned, and no anomalies were noted.

   1.4 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.

   1.5 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2 6802 (Cosmology With the Medium Deep
Survey)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to make observations taken in parallel with the
prime science observations as part of the Medium Deep Sky Survey.  The
observations were executed as scheduled, and no problems were reported.

   1.6 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 select
modes.  The observations were completed as planned, and no anomalies were
reported.

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

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (MA2) 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.

   1.8 Completed Two Sets of WF/PC-2/NIC/2 6865 (Stellar Populations in IC
1613)

       WF/PC-2 and the Near Infrared Camera (Camera Two) were used to
investifgate IC 1613, one of the gas rich dwarf galaxies in the Local
Group.  WF/PC-2 deep frames will be obtained in V, I and B in order to
study the color- magnitude diagram and the luminosity function of
individual stars making up the galaxy.  These data will provide constraints
on the age and metallicity of the stellar population in this object.
NICMOS parallel exposures were obtained in J and H filters, in order to
determine the temperature structure of the lower RGB in outer part of IC
1613.  The observations were executed as scheduled with no reported
anomalies.

   1.9 Completed WF/PC-2 6759 (Imaging Arcsecond Scale Jets from Young Stars)

       The WF/PC-2 was used to to observe the extended jets from young
stellar objects {YSOs}. YSOs represent a rather dramatic demonstration of
the outflow phenomenon common to pre-main sequence stars.  Recently it has
found that the jet phenomenon may be much more universal than previously
thought.  The observations were executed as planned with no problems.

   1.10 Completed Eight Sets of NIC/1/2/3 7726 (NICMOS One Orbit Parallel)

       The Near Infrared Camera (Cameras One, Two and Three) was used to
make a one orbit parallel calibration observations.  The observations were
executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were noted.
