The globalization and decentralisation of future space missions execution requires new concepts for payload and experiment operation. The technological evolution in the area of data systems and networks will allow for almost unlimited remote operations. Software and hardware technologies bundled with modern networking will permit the distribution of work task- and location wise. Whereas in the past both, telemetry and telecommanding had been worked out as special software products taking care of specific mission and individual instrument requirements, future systems will be based on generic solutions and open data systems. Common interface applications in software and hardware will allow the user to access any data products and other mission or experiment related information from remote site. The user will become part of the mission control centre in a virtual manner. DLR, together with small and medium enterprises, has initiated the development for an open data processing system, DAVIS, which face the new challenges. The modular concept of the generic system allows the easy customised implementation of payload and experiment specific data services. Telescience, which means the interactive remote operations of science in space, can be simply realised by scaleable real-time telemetry and telecommand modules. DAVIS covers the entire application chain - telemetry services and archiving, data processing, visualisation and on-line data analysis, as well as telecommanding and tracking. It offers further on various interfaces to other systems, databases or analysis tools via dedicated application programming interfaces (API) and supports the development of multi-platform applications. DAVIS has gained great success in past Spacelab missions and is presently used for the preparation of the project Rosetta-Lander, part of the next cornerstone mission of ESA in 2003. In addition, it is now under further development for the future utilisation in the ISS payload operations area. The paper will survey the system principles and the current development status and will give an outlook into future mission space operations techniques by means of multimedia and internet applications.
