We outline the HALCA Space VLBI mission scheduling process, with special emphasis placed on software that decides when to observe the proposed sources and how to ensure that the highest quality science is obtained. This information will be useful to the many principal investigators whose very high resolution VLBI observations are being supported by the mission.
