For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt.The Burn Plan page allows you to manage spacecraft maneuvers (burns). You can view, import, export, and delete planned and executed burns, as well as analyze their performance after execution. Route:

Composition Section
Performance Section
Shows burn execution analysis when telemetry data is available. Magnitude Chart:- Purpose: Shows burn efficiency (actual vs planned)
- Display: Bar chart with percentage centered at 100% (nominal)
- Color coding:
- Green (95-105%): Excellent - within 5% of plan
- Yellow (90-110%): Good - within 10% of plan
- Red (outside range): Review needed
- Purpose: Shows angular deviation from planned direction
- Display: Dual bar chart
- Blue: In-Plane (Azimuth) deviation
- Orange: Out-of-Plane (Elevation) deviation
- Unit: Degrees
- Interpretation: Lower values = better accuracy
LVLH (burn-local) — the frame the Azimuth / Elevation deviations are expressed in. Hover the badge for the full frame name; click Learn more to open the reference frame catalog.

Timeline View
A horizontal Gantt-style visualization of every burn for the selected spacecraft, with orbital events overlaid as bands and markers to give thruster timing the right context. Route:/maneuvers/burn-plan/timeline
The timeline is anchored to a UTC time axis along the top. Each spacecraft row holds the burns scheduled or executed within the current window, drawn as Gantt-style segments. Orbital events are overlaid above the burn rows as either shaded bands (entry-to-exit duration) or instantaneous markers (single-epoch events).
Zoom Toggle
Two zoom levels control how densely time is packed onto the horizontal axis.
A Now button to the right of the zoom toggle scrolls the timeline to the current UTC instant.
Orbital Events
Four orbital event types overlay onto the timeline. Each renders either as a shaded band (covering an entry-to-exit interval) or as an instantaneous marker (a single-epoch crossing).Display Popover
Click Display in the topbar’s right-aligned controls (accessibility name Display settings) to open the Orbital events popover. Each toggle controls visibility for one event type on the timeline; flipping a toggle is reflected immediately on the visible bands and markers.Schedule Export Dialog
Click Export Schedule in the topbar’s right-aligned controls to open the Export Schedule dialog. The dialog generates a Spacecraft Schedule File (.ssf) listing every selected event over a chosen window. The same dialog is also accessible from the passes timeline at /passes/timeline.
Spacecraft
A single-select dropdown listing every spacecraft in your tenant. The dialog defaults to the spacecraft already selected on the timeline.Date Range
Include
Five checkboxes determine what the exported.ssf file contains. All five are checked by default. With every checkbox unchecked the Download button is disabled and the dialog displays the validation message Select at least one event type.
Ground Stations
The Ground Stations card appears only when Ground Station Passes is checked. Use it to restrict the exported passes to specific ground stations.- Click the trigger button to open the picker.
- Check the stations to include; leave the selection empty to include all configured stations.
- The trigger label reads All ground stations when no stations are selected, or N selected when one or more are picked.
Footer
When you export a spacecraft that is running on the fallback (see Orbit age), the generated
.ssf includes that spacecraft’s fallback orbital events and carries an in-file COMMENT Orbital events derived from public TLE - indicative timing note, so a downstream reader treats their exact timing as indicative. When no fresh orbit is available and the fallback cannot rescue the craft, the file retains the COMMENT Orbital events unavailable - no fresh state vector note it carries today.
Quick Reference
Key Concepts
What is a Burn Plan?
A burn plan (maneuver) represents a planned or executed thruster firing to change a spacecraft’s orbit. Key parameters include:- Delta-V: Velocity change in m/s
- Delta-Mass: Propellant consumed
- Duration: Burn length in seconds
- Reference Frame: Coordinate system (RTN or TNW)
Maneuver Lifecycle
- PLANNED: Maneuver is scheduled but not yet executed
- TELEMETRY: Execution reported with actual timing data
- Performance Analysis: Compare actual vs planned after execution
Performance Metrics
- Magnitude (Efficiency): Actual delta-V vs planned delta-V (100% = perfect)
- Pointing: Angular deviation from planned direction (0 degrees = perfect)
