- HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
- DAILY REPORT #790
-
- PERIOD COVERED: 0800 EST 12/22/92 - 0800 EST 12/23/92
-
- Daily Status Report as of 358/1200Z.
-
- 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:
-
- 1.1 Completed GHRS/2 2536 (Deuterium in the Local Interstellar Gas)
-
- The High Resolution Spectrograph used its Echelle spectrograph
- to make observations of interstellar absorption lines in the spectra
- of white dwarf star G191-B2B. The first four observations were: two
- deflection calibrations, a spiral search, and the peakup. There were 15
- spectral observations which followed. All of the observations were
- made in course track, and all were reported to be okay.
-
- 1.2 Completed Two Sets of PC 4714 (Internal Delta Flats)
-
- A total of nine internal flat observations were made with the
- Planetary Camera. These images will be used for the restoration of
- Earth flats, which are altered due to the changes in quantum
- efficiency which occur after a WFPC decontamination operations. All
- of the internal flats were received and displayed. They were all
- okay.
-
-
- 1.3 Completed Two Sets of S/C 4215 (FGS ITS Test)
-
- The Fine Guidance Sensor internal test was executed as scheduled,
- and no problems were reported.
-
- 1.4 Uplinked Updated Ephemeris Tables, Per MOSES 2871
-
- Uplinked at 358/0100Z.
-
- 1.5 Completed FOS/RD 3816 (White Dwarf Stars)
-
- The Faint object Spectrograph was used to obtain spectral
- observations of white dwarf star L151-81. The onboard target
- acquisition was successful. The OSS monitored the first spectral
- observation, and it was successful. The other observations occurred
- during LOS, and still are on the science tape recorder.
-
- 1.6 Completed PC 4106 (HST Medium Deep Survey: Low Latitude)
-
- The Planetary Camera was used to make low latitude observations in
- parallel with the prime science observations. This is to provide for
- serendipitous discoveries and data for a basic sky survey. The
- observations were monitored in the OSS, and no problems were
- reported.
-
- 1.7 Completed WFC-PC 4109 (Rapid Internal Monitor)
-
- Both the Wide Field Camera and the Planetary Camera were used to
- obtain internal flat observations using filter F555W. This operation
- is to check for different forms of contamination (i.e., daises and
- measles). The internal flat observations were monitored in the OSS,
- and no problems were reported.

- 5.0 SIGNIFICANT FORTHCOMING EVENTS:
-
- There will be a partial eclipse of the Sun at the end of Dec. 23
- (today) and the start of Dec. 24 (tomorrow). This will effect two
- orbital passes of the Space Telescope, one orbit in each day. The
- First orbit will be effected for a 20 minute period, with a maximum
- of 37% reduction in Sun light. The second orbit will be effected for
- six minutes, with a 2.4% reduction in Sun light. The Battery Rate of
- Charge Test will be disabled in the EPS System, and the Course Sun
- Sensors in the PCS System.
-
-
- Due to the Christmas and New Years holidays no daily reports will be
- written on Thursday Dec. 24, Friday Dec. 25, and Friday Jan. 1. A
- daily report will be written Monday Through Thursday (Dec. 28 - Dec.
- 31).
