In this paper, we establish the mission operation concept for the Orbiting Configurable Artificial Star mission, a hybrid space-ground observatory, which aims to enable ground observations of near-diffraction limited resolution and exquisite sensitivity. We present the mission requirements, introduce a potential orbit solution that can meet them, detail the concrete operational steps to be taken to enable such observations, and develop a mission planning tool which generates a mission schedule that meets all mission requirements and can be altered in real time in the case of disruptions to the mission. Finally, we show the the mission could enable 300 adaptive optics and 1500 flux calibration observations throughout its lifetime.
