Downes Since during the upcoming Servicing Mission in February 1997, FOS and GHRS will be removed from HST, we gave the highest priority to observations using those instruments. This required us to schedule all programs with those instruments as early as possible, as well as other observations that for scientific reasons needed to be scheduled in the first half of Cycle 6. This had resulted in a very full long range plan, but one which we were optimistic to complete prior to the Servicing Mission. However, with the safing event in early November, we now find that completion of all the high priority programs is in doubt. For this reason, we will place all observations approved for repeats in a contingency pool, which will be utilized in case of a launch slip. We will do our best to schedule as many of these pool observations as possible prior to the Servicing Mission whenever they can be fit into upcoming observing calendars. We regret not being immediately able to reschedule failed observations, but there is unfortunately not enough time left before the Servicing Mission to allow us to do this. Hopefully we will be able to re-insert many of the programs back into the schedule. ================================================================================ RECENT PREPRINTS ---------------- We draw your attention to these papers, based on FOS data, that will appear in the next few months. This list includes all preprints received by the STScI Library not yet published in the journals. Please remember to include our Library in your preprint distribution list.
