8. Relevant Software Tools

  • ODSutils - a standalone ODS RFI analysis utilities for HCRO. Developed by Dr. David Deboer at UC Berkeley/SETI (https://github.com/david-deboer/odsutils)

  • SOPP - Satellite Orbit Prediction Processor, a predictive algorithm that both anticipates potential incoming satellite RFI and then optimizes the telescope scheduling to observe a relatively cleaner sky region. Developed by Prof. Kevin Gifford at CU Boulder (https://pypi.org/project/sopp/)

  • OpenZMS - A prototype automatic spectrum sharing and management platform for intelligent sharing workflows for radio dynamic zones. Development was led by the Flux Research Group at the University of Utah (https://www.openzms.org)

  • rfi_harmonics_distance - A calculator for harmonic frequency separation to protected RAS/Science bands according to the Recommendation ITU-R RA.769. Developped by Dr. Greg Hellbourg at Caltech for the URSI RFI Conference (https://rfi-conference.org/rfi_harmonics_distance.html).

  • EMILY - Electro Magnetic Interference Ledger & registrY, a lightweight, privacy-preserving system that helps observatories and agencies report, curate, and analyze interference in a consistent way. URSI-NRSM 2026 conference paper. EMILY API Python SDK (https://github.com/WUSTL-CSPL/EMILY_SDK).

  • RSC-SIM - Radio Science Coexistence Simulator, a sophisticated Python framework designed for modeling radio astronomy observations, with particular emphasis on simulating the impact of satellite constellations (such as Starlink) on radio telescope observations. Developped by the SpectrumX team (https://github.com/spectrumx/RSC-SIM). This software grew and evolved out of the RadioMdl codebase, a Julia package created by Dr. Samuel Thé (https://github.com/SJJThe)
