The purpose of the shuttle system is to permit us to do more useful and necessary things in space at minimum cost. The flight operation subsystem must be consistent with these goals. This review of the predicted payload and mission types reveals a ground facility functionally similar to the Skylab Control Center is needed to provide trajectory control and system management services for the spacecraft and payloads and to provide rapid, effective payload data acquisition and distribution to the user. An automated mission management system must be added to translate user requirements into specific missions, directives, schedules, and plans.
