Today's space operations rely on a vast network of manual activities and human decisions to safely plan missions, configure systems, conduct flights, and support mission analysis. Literally hundreds of range and launch operations personnel are required to plan and execute each mission. The cost of operations is a significant portion of the total lifecycle cost of space flight, but it is difficult and risky to experiment with new, potentially lower-cost operational approaches during actual space flight operations. A capability for investigating new operational approaches that promise to significantly reduce cost and complexity for future launch vehicles is needed. This paper will describe the concept of an ``Operations Testbed'' that would provide such a capability.
