The results of an ESA study into the applicability and possible usage of telescience are reported. Its purpose is to analyze the impact of telescience on all aspects of spacecraft operations. An analysis of the requirements of both the users and the operators is presented. A classification of previous and planned missions is given, followed by an analysis of the applicability of the telescience operations to each mission class. A number of major problems are identified, including programmatic, operational, and technical difficulties. It is shown that most of these problems can be solved, but with increased costs to the users and potentially to the mission control. Future developments in telescience operations and the necessary activities to be completed before the telescience 'dream' becomes a reality are discussed.
