Evaluate CAM candidates against other future conjunctions

Evaluate a CAM candidate's impact on other future conjunctions

After Valar's CAM Optimization wizard picks a candidate avoidance maneuver, you can now check what that maneuver would do to OTHER future conjunctions on the same spacecraft — does it nudge the closest approach further away, does it raise the probability of collision somewhere else, or does it eliminate the encounter altogether? The new Future Impact step shows one secondary conjunction at a time in a side-by-side comparison table that lines up the pre-maneuver and post-maneuver values for miss distance, probability of collision, time of closest approach, and a criticality shield, with the change between them highlighted in safety colours so green always means safer. When a post-maneuver value carries a caveat (covariance frame unsupported, geometry near the horizon edge, aspect-ratio fallback, and so on) the table shows it inline as a badge so you know exactly when to trust the comparison.

Improvements
  • Reorganized spacecraft detail page — the spacecraft detail page has been rebuilt around fidelity tier: Identifiers, the Cannonball drag-and-SRP model, Advanced geometry, and a Danger Zone for destructive actions each live in their own card you can edit independently. Creating a new spacecraft now happens in a dialog you can open from anywhere in the app, with per-field validation as you type.
  • Reference frame badges on every plot — every frame-bearing plot — ground tracks, orbital-element plots, ephemeris plots, attitude Euler-angle plots, attitude quaternion components — now carries a small badge next to its title naming the reference frame its axes are drawn in, with a tooltip explanation and a link to the reference-frame catalog. The badge updates in lock-step when a plot lets you switch frames mid-session.
  • Spacecraft list performance — listing many spacecraft with detailed advanced-geometry panels is materially faster.
Fixes
  • Maneuver mass calculation — looking up a spacecraft's mass at a maneuver's epoch no longer errors when the spacecraft has no configured dry mass; the lookup returns cleanly instead of crashing the call.
  • Spacecraft NORAD ID editing — editing a spacecraft whose NORAD catalog number arrived as a numeric value (for example from an OPM import) no longer crashes the form; the field is normalised to a string before the editor renders.
  • Midnight timestamps — labels showing the exact moment 00:00:00 UTC now render their date part correctly in every place a timestamp appears.
