NASA's current and future space science missions create greater opportunities to observe the sun and understand its processes and impact on the space weather through a range of distributed instruments. The joint assets of these missions has recently been coined a "Great Observatory". A key challenge in realizing the Great Observatory concept is harnessing such distributed instruments and the associated continuous complex data sets for enhanced science productivity and reliability. Autonomous science operations and control will enable these goals in spite of tight budgets, evolving science models (evolving understanding and theory) and changing mission goals. The Virtual Science Operations Framework (VSOF) enables the formation of the Great Observatory through the combination of novel data naming systems and middleware services for closed-loop observations planning, analysis and execution with established operational systems. We introduce innovative ideas of instrument and data abstractions, and a uniform substrate for automating coordinated and continuous science observation and analysis operations. These concepts allow space scientists to take advantage of a range of heterogeneous (commandable and preset) and distributed instruments and analysis services to meet the needs of future science missions and analysis tasks in a cost-effective manner. The project exploits current advances in collaboration architectures and information technologies to create a scalable plug-and-play substrate for cooperative space science operations.
