Abstarct

We present the description of Fakerat software developed for scheduling Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations on ground-space bases exceeding the size of the Earth. The results of scheduled observations using the Fakerat package, carried out during the first two years after launching the space radio telescope (SRT) in the space-ground interferometer mode, are reported in the paper.
