HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE

                       DAILY REPORT #2408

PERIOD COVERED:  0000Z (UTC) 07/06/99 - 0000Z (UTC) 07/07/99

Daily Status Report as of 188/0000Z

1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:

   1.1 Completed STIS/CCD 8408 (STIS CCD Dark Monitor C8)

       The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) was used to make a CCD
bias calibration observation. This is to monitor the darks for the STIS CCD. 
The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were reported.  

   1.2 Completed WF/PC-2/STIS/CCD 8267 (Taking the Measure of Planets in the
Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae)

       Both the WF/PC-2 and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (CCD) were
used to make observations of the globular cluster NGC-104 (a.k.a., Globular
Cluster 47 Tucanae) to search for stars with planetary companions in close
orbits.  HST is uniquely capable of providing the requisite, high-dynamic
range, time-series photometry.  These observations extended over a several day
period.  The observations were executed as scheduled, and no anomalies were
noted.  

2.0 FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

   2.1 Guide Star Acquisitions: 

                            Scheduled Acquisitions : 2
                                        Successful : 2

                          Scheduled Reacquisitions : 17
                                        Successful : 17

   2.2 FHST Updates: 

                              Scheduled : 2
                             Successful : 2

   2.3 Operations Notes: 

       The weeklong proposal described in 1.2 continues with no reported
problems.

       Using ROP SR-1, the SSR EDAC error counter was cleared seven times.

       A TTR was written for a period of no commandability due to an IP mapping
tool software problem.

       Per HSTAR 7188, the battery 4 voltage went low (with a value of 27.64
which is at the low limit) for one telemetry sample at 188/072458Z and again at
188/072516Z.  The same thing occurred for battery 2 at 188/072522Z, at
188/072540Z, and at 188/072552Z.  Also, the main bus A voltage flagged low
(26.65 when the limit is 26.68) for three seconds.  All these events occurred
towards the end of orbit night, when no vehicle maneuver was in progress.

       SM3A SMGT-2, Part 3B will be run all day today.

3.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS: 

       Continuation of normal science observations and calibrations.
