1. A system for managing interferences in a satellite system using non-compliant antennas, the system comprising:

  • a coordination database comprising information regarding a current communications environment of the satellite system;

    a device in communication with at least one terrestrial terminal using a non-compliant antenna and operative to communicate with the satellite system and the coordination database;

    an antenna simulation device operative to calculate a radiation pattern of the non-compliant antenna, wherein;

    the coordination database is operative to track orbital positions of satellites in the radiation pattern of the non-compliant antenna, andthe device is operative to perform interference calculations using information in the coordination database to determine possible orbital slots for operations using the non-compliant antenna and whether the non-compliant antenna can communicate with the satellite system.
