Conjunctions
Follow the encounter. Review the response.
Keep successive alerts, assessment results, and avoidance options in the context of one encounter. Understand what changed, assess the available evidence, and carry a selected response into Maneuvers.
Inside VALAR
See what changes beyond this encounter
Inspect a candidate's effect on another known conjunction before creating a maneuver plan. Read the changing metrics alongside the caveats attached to the calculation.
Read the future-impact releaseThe workflow
From evolving alerts to an avoidance decision
A conjunction develops as new tracking and CDMs arrive. Preserve that history while deciding whether a response is needed and which candidate deserves further review.
Collect alerts in encounter context
Import conjunction data messages or configure supported Space-Track and EU SST alert-fetching integrations. Follow successive alerts for the encounter instead of treating each update as an unrelated event.
Assess and track the changes
Triage using configurable probability-of-collision and miss-distance thresholds. Examine trends, then recompute an assessment using your spacecraft's orbital state and the secondary object's data.
Compare avoidance candidates
Compute collision-avoidance options and compare risk and delta-v tradeoffs. Inspect a candidate's future impact on other eligible known conjunctions for that spacecraft, reviewing the pre/post values and any computation caveats.
Carry the decision into Maneuvers
Create a maneuver plan from the selected candidate, then review and approve it through the shared planning workflow. Continue assessing the encounter as new information arrives; approving a plan does not mark the risk as resolved.
What you bring

Connected operations
The next decision uses the same context.
Use orbital evidence from Orbits
Bring the spacecraft's orbital state into a recomputed assessment and review the freshness of the inputs.
Review the response in Maneuvers
Carry the selected candidate into a plan, individual burn records, and ground-segment handover.
Keep the operational context in view
Spacecraft configuration and the shared Map connect the encounter to the rest of your flight-dynamics work.
