Yes — for real-time satellite pass scheduling and antenna conflict management, I’d recommend looking at AGI/STK Scheduler or SCOS-2000 depending on how operational and customizable you need it to be.

Best overall for mission planning:

AGI STK Scheduler

  • Strong for contact planning, resource conflicts, and what-if analysis
  • Integrates well with AGI/STK for orbit/visibility modeling
  • Good for planning satellite passes, ground station windows, and antenna/resource allocations
  • Useful if you want a polished commercial tool with simulation support

Best for operations / mission control style use:

SCOS-2000

  • Common in space operations centers
  • Better suited for real-time scheduling, commanding workflows, and operational constraints
  • Can handle pass/antenna conflicts in a more mission-operations context
  • More customizable, but usually heavier to deploy and integrate

Other options to consider:

  • FreeFlyer Mission Operations – good for mission planning and automation
  • SaVoir – strong for pass prediction and visibility planning
  • Custom scheduler using Orekit + a rules engine – best if you need full control over conflict logic and integrations

My quick recommendation

  • If you want a commercial planning platform with good usability: STK Scheduler
  • If you need real-time ops and ground station control: SCOS-2000
  • If you want a more modern internal tool and can build it: Orekit-based custom scheduling

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a comparison table, or
  2. recommendations based on your setup, like number of antennas, satellites, and whether this is for a mission ops center or a ground station network.
