Abstract
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is planned for launch in spring 2020. In 2017 and 2018, the operational ground system was exercised by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) operations personnel in the form of three Science Operations Rehearsals (SORs). The SORs exercised and demonstrated routine daily operations, process flows, and rework scenarios. They also provided an inside look at the JWST ground systems capabilities, and provided an opportunity to exercise the software that will be used to create flight products. Documentation of operational procedures were also assessed and updated as needed. We describe the content of those rehearsals and lessons learned along the way.
