We describe the automated scheduling system in development and in use for the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 Mission (OCO-3), which launched to the International Space Station in May 2019. We first describe the high level scheduling prob- lem of scheduling the four types of observations: nadir, glint, target, and snapshot area map. We then describe the major complexity of OCO-3 scheduling - enforcing geometric visi- bility constraints for snapshot area map and target modes. We also describe an automated scheduling of instrument pointing calibration. We then describe current and related work as well as future directions for the scheduling of OCO-3.
