Varda has one known [[Minor-planet moon|satellite]], '''Ilmarë''',[Stressed on the first syllable] formal designation '''{{nowrap|(174567) Varda I}}'''. Ilmarë was discovered by [[Keith S. Noll|Keith Noll]] in 2009, at a separation of about 0.12 arcsec, using discovery images taken by the [[Hubble Space Telescope]] on 26 April 2009, the discovery was reported in 2011.[ It is approximately 403 km in diameter according to the ALMA study done in 2025,] it is the fourth-largest known moon of a [[trans-Neptunian object]], after [[Charon (moon)|Charon]], [[Dysnomia (moon)|Dysnomia]], and [[Vanth (moon)|Vanth]]. Under the assumption of a lower density of {{val|0.7|u=g/cm3}}, which is thought to be more typical that of trans-Neptunian objects in the ~400 km size range, the Ilmarë-to-Varda mass ratio would be around 0.11:1.{{small|{{Creative Commons text attribution notice|cc=by4}}}} |

Varda has one known [[Minor-planet moon|satellite]], [[Ilmarë]] (formal designation 174567 Varda I), which was discovered in 2009. It is estimated to be about 403 km in diameter (about 50% that of its primary), constituting 8% of the system mass, or {{val|2|e=19|u=kg}}, assuming its density and albedo are the same as that of Varda.{{efn|name=mass}} |

|
|
The Varda–Ilmarë system is tightly bound, with a semi-major axis of {{val|4809|39|u=km}} (about 12 Varda radii) and an orbital period of 5.75 days. |
