A new concept whereby telescience is facilitated by defining allowable 'operations envelopes' within which users are free to operate in a relatively unconstrained mode is presented. Some options for the needed application and communication services are reviewed. The concept of 'telescience' involves giving space mission users an increased degree of autonomy in the conduct of their investigations. In an ideal world, the telescience user would teleoperate a remote instrument or subsystem using completely transparent data handling services. In reality, the user must work in a constrained environment, usually sharing system resources with others. With current approaches, the command and control path is very slow and unresponsive; this is principally due to the need to protect the overall health and safety of the spacecraft system by extensive planning, scheduling, checking and validation of the user's command activities.
