STATUS REPORTS

1.  Observatory Status

	MOSES status reports:

	-PCS - nominal - The thrid guide star acq later today will 
		be a 170-deg. slew and will be a good test of the new
		reaction wheel.

	-EPS - nominal
	     - ESTR2 remains powered off because of the previously
		reported high temperatures.  Will be used in SMS 055
		for LOS enginerring data recording only.
 
	-DMS - nominal.  Testing continues with PASSOPS 		seeing no unexpected
drop-outs.  The SSR will be
		used for continuous engineering data recording in
		SMS053 (currently executing).  SSR science/engineering
		partioning is underway.

	-Thermal - all temperatures within limits.  Comp[ared to last
		year at this time, Bay 10 is showing no more than a 
		2 - 3 degree increase and Bays 7 & 8 are showing some
		increases, but these are all thought to be understood
		and typical for current configuration.  Light Shield
		temperature shows no obvious change and the aft
		shroud temps, being power dependent, are more
		difficult to assess in the short term.  The schedule
		for days 59, 68, and 73 present a variety of off-
		nominal rolls and sun angles for further thermal
		assessment.

	FSW - Tht NSSC1 5-SI load went nominal, except for the
		scheduled STIS patch which failed checksum.  		Comparisons with the KSC
STIS image were made, with
		no differeces resulting.  Comparison with BRZ showed
		many differences because of BRZ retains remnants of 
		old pattern tests in unused areas.  Patch was changed
		to reflect correct memory image.  Meetings later in
		the morning on how to proceed with patch.


2.  WFPC2 Status - nominal
				
3.  NICMOS Status - nominal, in HOLD moded
	- HST written overnight to document the
	unexpected turn-on of dewar heaters in going from safe mode
	to boot mode after the NSSC1 installation.  Not a problem
	when going directly to hold mode.


4.  STIS Status - Nominal in HOLD mode
	-Low-level bus noise has decreased drammatically
	since reconfiguration to a differnet PDU from the one
 	serving the FOC.  CCD temperature all look good.  TEC is at
	a setting of -76 C and temperature is nominal and stable.

5.  FGS status - nominal - no change from last report

6.  FOC/COSTAR status - nominal 


PLANNING REPORTS

1.  Status of Upcoming SMSs

	- SMS053 (1st SMOV Science SMS) - Uplinked and 
	  executing.
	

          The goal is to run all of the SMSs through SMS069 by
	  Sunday for input to commanding review in order to 
	  get a jump on TDRS requests in forecast period.
 			
	- SMS055 - finals hve been delivered and SMS has been
		signed off. Ready for uplink.
 
   	- SMS058 - Has beem built and finals have been delivered
		for review.

	- SMS058H - (contingency SMS058 in case WFPC2
 			contamination is seen in SMS055)
		  - has been built, finals to be delivered later
		    evening.

  	- SMS062 - built and SARs being negotiated. 

   	- SMS065 - built and SARs being negotiated. 

   	- SMS069 - currently being built

  	- SMS072 - currently being built


2.  Replans - none
