Project Perspective !
· Mission performance is excellent overall (with room for improvement)! · Spacecraft and Instruments are healthy! · Science programs are exciting!
- Historically high community interest marked by 1097 proposals for Cycle 21 ! - Enhanced blue wavelength science using Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS)! - Enhanced Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) spatial scanning capability! - Completing final year observations for Multi-Cycle Treasury Programs! - New Frontiers Deep Fields Initiative!

· Strong support from NASA HQ ! - Stable budgets through 2019 in difficult budget climate! - Astrophysics stated at January AAS meeting that the plan is to operate as long as possible; there is no planned end date ! - Supports the Project intention to operate to 2020 and beyond!

Mission Operations !
· Two independent Software Sun Point (SWSP) safemode entry events !

- December 22, 2012: back to back solar array slews were too close together! - February 15, 2013: Single Event Upset (SEU) in Solar Array Drive Electronics
(SADE) controller led to array position deviating from the expected profile! - Follow on actions associated with each event have been completed, or will be completed in May!

· HST Solar Array Drive Electronics (SADE) Investigation !

- An anomalous Solar Array (SA) slew profile seen during an on-orbit checkout of the
SADE following the February 15, 2013 Software Sun Point Safemode event is under investigation by ESA and HST Operations Engineers! - A theory is that during nominal operations the cabling torque compensation circuits in the SADE retain the last computed compensation torque based on the SA wing position of the last processed slew! - The SADE does not retain this following a power cycle, therefore, the first slew may have an anomalous profile! - Initial archival searches of past solar array slew profiles support the theory ! !
