Scientific paper

Key requirements and ground systems implementation strategy for SIRTF which presents a significant challenge in the operational phase of the mission are discussed. The facility is aimed at reliably integrating a guaranteed time program, requests from about 200 guest observer teams per year, and observatory maintenance. SIRFT is characterized by the five-year life time due to cryogen boil-off which means that the ground system must be fully operational at launch and must operate with an efficiency and timeliness rarely achieved in previous space missions.
