A general definition of the term mission planning is given followed by an overall description of the main parts of a typical mission planning system. A description is given of mission planning systems for the Hipparcos, ERS-1, and Eureca missions. Both commonalities and differences between the mission planning systems of these three missions are identified and discussed. Noting that traditionally mission planning systems were developed as mission specific items for ESA's scientific and remote sensing missions, an attempt is made to separate functions which could form part of a common kernel mission system for multimission support.
