Abstract
he James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large aperture infrared space telescope with a five-year mission, ten-year design goal. It is currently planned to be launched in 2013from Kourou, French Guiana aboard an Ariane 5 launch vehicle. JWST is designated to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as part of the NASA Great Observatories program. JWST will continue the HST tradition of advancing breakthroughs in our understanding of the origins of the earliest stars, galaxies, and the very elements that are the foundations of life. JWST, with development and operations phases that may each exceed ten years, requires nontraditional means of defining the development, and integration and test (I&T) environments and operational ground system. Rather than selecting a command and telemetry system and building the other ground system components around it. JWST has elected to develop requirements for the desired operational architecture and then select the products necessary to build the development and I&T
