Science Operations Design Reference Mission JWST-STScI-000045 JWST Mission Science & Operations Center Revision C 1 Summary The Science Operations Design Reference Mission (SODRM 2012) provides a set of realistic JWST science programs that cover at least 1 year of observations. The SODRM 2012 programs represent the current best estimate of the type, mix, and distribution of observations that JWST will carry out during the 1st year of operations. The SODRM 2012 is the product of over 50 scientists across the JWST community and, as a result, reflects the current view of planned JWST observations. The goal of the SODRM 2012 is to provide a basis for quantitative investigations of JWST operations, specifically to explore ways to improve the efficiency and reliability of JWST operations. There are no mission design or performance requirements dependent on the specific content of the SODRM 2012. The SODRM 2012 programs do not represent allocations or reservations of observing time, the real JWST cycle 1 programs will be comprised of Guaranteed Time observations and programs competitively chosen by the the JWST Telescope Allocation Committee (TAC) 1-1 Check with the JWST SOCCER Database at: https://soccer.stsci.edu To verify that this is the current version. Science Operations Design Reference Mission JWST-STScI-000045 JWST Mission Science & Operations Center Revision C 2 Introduction The Science Operations Design Reference Mission (SODRM) defines an observing program of at least one year of representative science observations for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as realistically as is currently feasible, as an aide to planning, analysis, systems
