Abstract
This article will describe the overall SVLBI mission operations system with particular attention to the mission elements provided by the DSN. The requirements for support of future missions and necessary improvements to increase the e#ciency of mission operations and to decrease mission operations costs also will be described. I. Introduction Space very long baseline interferometry (SVLBI) missions employ at least one space-based radio telescope (SRT) operating in conjunction with a network of ground-based radio telescopes (GRTs) to conduct radio interferometric measurements of celestial radio sources. The observations conducted with such an interferometer provide images of radio sources with unprecedented angular resolution exceeding by orders of magnitude that achieved through other astronomical measurements (e.g., exceeding #200 times the Hubble Space Telescope angular resolution). 1 TMOD Plans and Commitments O#ce. 2<F
