A Large Space Telescope (LST) ground system which is compatible with the operational requirements of LST is described. The goal of this approach to the ground system was to minimize the cost of post launch operations without seriously compromising the quality and total throughput of LST science, or jeopardizing the safety of the LST in orbit. The accomplishment of this goal through optimum use of existing and planned resources and institutional facilities is discussed. Cost is shown to be reduced and efficiency in operation increased by drawing on existing experience in interfacing guest astronomers with spacecraft as well as mission control experience obtained in the operation of present astronomical spacecraft. The ground system was limited to the mission and data operations elements of the total LST Program. The planning and implementation of science programs in both a long-range and daily time frame is also discussed. (Author)
