Abstract
The Joint Science Operations Centre (JSOC) has been established to provide the operational interface between the Instrument Principal Investigators (PIs) and the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC). Its key task will be to merge inputs from the Cluster instrument teams and to generate the coordinated command schedule for operation of the scientific payload. In addition, it will collect and process data needed to plan those operations and will monitor the performance of the mission and individual instruments. This paper outlines the JSOC subsystems that have been built to carry out these tasks and highlights points of scientific or technical interest within these systems.
