The new series of geosynchronous operational environmental satellite (GOES) missions, GOES-8 and GOES-9, provide greater instrument coverage flexibility and greater resolution than previous GOES spinners. This added flexibility and the three-axis stabilized operating mode results in control system of increased complexity: almost 5000 real-time commands are sent daily to the satellites compared to 200 commands per day for GOES-7. These advanced technologies present new challenges to the NASA operations support personnel. In order to prepare for launching, post-launch tests and in-orbit operations, a mission planning scheme was developed in order to assure the flight system command and the systems' health monitoring. The mission operations approaches are reviewed together with the associated philosophies and the operation tools developed to assist the personnel in performing complex routine and special operation tasks.
