VALAR Space

VALAR Space is a Spanish space software company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Madrid, providing a cloud-based Flight Dynamics as-a-Service (FDaaS) platform that automates satellite orbit determination, trajectory planning, and maneuver execution for commercial satellite operators — reducing the operational burden and propellant consumption associated with station-keeping, orbital relocation, and collision avoidance maneuvers.

Traditional satellite flight dynamics operations require teams of specialized astrodynamics engineers running complex orbital mechanics software to compute maneuver plans, validate execution sequences, and monitor outcomes — a labor-intensive process that constrains response speed to conjunction warnings and drives operational costs for multi-satellite operators.

VALAR's PRE-FLIGHT AI system automates this workflow: ingesting space weather data, Two-Line Element (TLE) tracking data, operator-defined constraints, and mission objectives to generate optimized maneuver sequences that achieve 12% savings in delta-V (propellant expenditure) compared to manual planning baselines, while delivering maneuver plans 20x faster than traditional analyst workflows.

The platform specifically targets geostationary satellite operators managing north-south and east-west station-keeping cycles, GEO slot relocations (multi-week maneuver sequences involving dozens of burns), and collision avoidance maneuvers triggered by Space Fence or ESA DISCOS conjunction warnings with limited response time. Reducing delta-V consumption directly extends satellite operational lifetime — a significant economic benefit for GEO operators where each year of additional life has multi-million dollar revenue value.

VALAR Space is an ESA Business Incubation Centre (BIC) alumnus, validating its technology platform through ESA's startup support program. The company competes with GMV (FDS suite), CS Group, and emerging SaaS flight dynamics automation platforms.
