Assets reference

Assets are the building blocks of an ASTROLAB mission. Each has a type, GUID, optional parent, and a typed Properties editor (web and desktop share the schema).

Catalogue

Spacecraft Orbital vehicle — orbit, attitude, power, COMM, constraints
Constellation Walker or trailing grouping of spacecraft members

Facility Ground station
Target Geographic point target
Area of interest Regional / country / polygon AOI
Space object Catalog / debris populations

Payloads & RF

Asset Role
Sensors Optical / typed sensors (mounted)
Antenna RF pattern aperture (mounted)
Transmitter RF source — Simple / Complex
Receiver RF front-end — Simple / Complex
Solar array Power panels (via Spacecraft Power tab)
Battery Energy storage (via Spacecraft Battery tab)
Propulsion subsystem Chemical / electrical — next Beta builds
Constraints Geometric filters on platforms
Mounted assets Shared mount / pointing model

Shared document fields

Field Meaning
guid Stable identity
asset_type Schema key
asset_id Display name
parent_guid Tree parent
active Participates when true

Creation tips

  1. Prefer on mobile / context menu on desktop.
  2. Respect plan caps (spacecraft, facility, sensorPerParent, …).
  3. Apply Changes after edits that affect the scene.

Each asset page includes a Properties screenshot slot (spacecraft: one per tab). Drop PNGs in docs/resources/images/assets/ using the filenames in Documentation images.

Continue with Analyses once assets are configured.
