With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope planned for the fall of 2021, the Space Telescope Science Institute continues preparation of the planning and scheduling ground system. After a series of Science Operations Rehearsals, we have confirmed that the Proposal Planning System is ready for ingest of the JWST Early Release Science, Guaranteed Time Observations, calibrations, and the Cycle 1 Guest Observer science programs. The Proposal Planning System consists of multiple sub-components; here, we focus on three of them: the Visit Planning System, the Visit Scheduling System, and the Observation Plan Generation System.
