STATUS REPORTS

1.  Observatory Status

	MOSES status reports:

	-PCS - nominal

	-OTA - nominal

	-EPS - nominal

	-DMS - nominal 
	     - SSR testing, including SAA behavior, 
		continues in data gathering mode with recurrence of
		now typical re-tries.

	-Thermal - nominal.



2.  WFPC2 Status - nominal
	- CCD temperature now at -88C
	- Today's UV monitor's at this temperature will be
	  used to decide whether or not to remain
	  at the operational -88C.  A decision is expected
	  at around 10 pm tonight.

3.  NICMOS Status - nominal
	The cold well temp is at 56K and levelling off.
	VCS temperature is within the expected range.
	NICMOS science is in the process of analyzing data from
	recent internal tests. (Note: Since this meeting, NICMOS
	went into suspend with a Detector 1 VD voltage
	out of limits low.  Reason unknown, more details in
	tomorrow's meeting notes.)

4.  STIS Status - CCD temperature is nominal -83 degC.  MAMA low
	voltages were turned back on yesterday, and since that time
	another MCE reset, this time on MAMA1, has occurred, again
	in the SAA.  The plan is to reset (or unreset) the affected
	parameters and keep running.  (Note:  Since this meeting,
	a third MCE reset (MAMA1) has occurred.  More details
	in tomorrows notes and from the planned Project meeting

OPERATIONS STATUS - 

1.  OPUS

	-  OMS data is now being processed by through the pipeline.

	-  A problem with the FITS I/O kernel for CALSTIS has been
           identified and a fix is expected for next week.  In the
	   meantime, any STIS science data that fails calibration
	   will be FTP'd directly to the team without going through
	   CALSTIS.

	
2.  Archive - A problem with an OMS STSDAS task has been identified
	   and is being worked.
