- HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
- DAILY REPORT #787
-
- PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST 12/17/92 - 0800 EST 12/18/92
-
- Daily Status Report as of 353/1200Z.
-
- 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:
-
- 1.1 Complete One Set of GHRS/2 3482 (Nature of In-Falling Matter on Star
- Beta Pictoris) and Initiate a Second.
-
- The High Resolution Spectrograph was used to take a series of 19
- ultraviolet spectral observations of the gaseous disk around Beta
- Pictoris (aka, HD39060) looking for cometary like objects which
- might be falling into the disk and being evaporated. The onboard
- target acquisition was successful. The wave calibrations looked
- okay, and all the spectral observations were reported to look good.
- A second set of observations are currently under way, and no
- problems have been reported.
-
- 1.2 Complete FOS/RD 3840 (Abundance of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen in
- ST)
-
- The Faint Object Spectrograph was used to make four ultraviolet
- spectral observations of the extra-galactic H II region IZW18. The
- binary search found the target in group eight, and looked okay.
- All of the spectral observations were reported to be okay. The
- second confirmation image also looked okay.
-

- 2.4 Operations Note:
-
- The First Servicing Mission Internal Simulation #2 was successfully
- completed yesterday, Thursday, Dec. 17. This simulation was intended
- to provided the HST Servicing Mission team with functional training
- to ensure operational readiness. This simulation went well and no
- major problems were reported.
