Techniques reasonably classified as 'telescience' in NASA missions are discussed. The first interplanetary probe, Mariner 2, was launched towards Venus nearly 30 years ago. Since that time, NASA has successfully completed missions to Mercury (Mariner 10), Venus (Mariners 5 and 10, Pioneers 12 and 13, Galileo, and Magellan), Mars (Mariners 4, 6, 7, and 9, and Vikings 1 and 2), Jupiter (Pioneers 10 and 11, Voyagers 1 and 2, and the approaching Galileo), Saturn (Pioneer 11, Voyagers 1 and 2, and the planned Cassini), Uranus (Voyager 2), and Neptune (Voyager 2). Missions to asteroids (Galileo, CRAF, and Cassini), and to a comet (CRAF) are presently being prepared or underway. Procedures have to be adapted to permit the latest possible updating of the planned observational sequences, to counteract the effects of a 492 minute round trip light time, and to provide automatic fault sensing and correction. Special emphasis is placed on those used for the Voyager encounter with Neptune in Aug. 1989.
