VALAR uses a dual-navigation layout designed for efficient spacecraft operations, with a persistent sidebar for main features and a contextual header for page-specific tools. Global Layout Your primary navigation hub for accessing all platform capabilities:

​
Main Sections

Orbits: Track, determine, and visualize orbital data
  • Tracking measurements & sensors
  • State vectors (Table & Keplerian views)
  • Orbit determination solutions
  • Ground track visualization
Maneuvers: Plan and execute spacecraft maneuvers
  • Burn plan for maneuver execution
  • Planner for future maneuvers
STM: Space Traffic Management
  • Conjunction analysis with risk assessment
Quick access tools at the bottom:
  • Support Menu: Documentation, API docs, status page
  • User Profile: Account settings and logout
  • Settings: Platform configuration
  • Theme Toggle: Light/Dark mode

​
Top Header

Contextual navigation and real-time tools: Left: Breadcrumb navigation showing current location Center: Page-specific tabs
  • Solutions: “Solutions” | “Configs”
  • Tracking: “Measurements” | “Sensors”
  • State Vectors: “Table” | “Keplerian Elements”
Right: Utility tools
  • Process Status: Monitor async operations
  • UTC Clock: Live time display
  • Cheatsheet: Quick reference to spacecraft data

​
Command Palette

Trigger: ⌘K (Mac) / Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) or pen icon in sidebar header Command Quick access to common operations:
  • Import: State vectors, burn plans, measurements
  • Add: Spacecraft, maneuvers
  • Run: Orbit determination
  • Generate: Ephemerides
  • Open: Settings, cheatsheet, process monitor

​
Cheatsheet (Quick Reference)

Access: Bookmark icon in header Cheatsheet View critical spacecraft data at a glance:
  • TLE: Two-line element set (copyable)
  • Critical Conjunctions: High/Medium/Low risk events
  • State Vector: Current orbital state (Keplerian & Cartesian)
  • Maneuvers: Upcoming burns with delta-V
  • Subsatellite Point: Current lat/lon position
  • Mass & Propellant: Current mass and fuel percentage

​
Settings

Access: Settings button in sidebar footer or Command Palette Settings Configure your VALAR experience:
  • Profile: Name, email, password management
  • Members: Invite and manage team members
  • Orbits: Force model configuration (drag, SRP, gravity field, tides)
  • Notifications: Alert preferences and integrations
  • STM: Conjunction thresholds and computation methods

​
Key Features

​
Modals & Dialogs

Focused workflows for:
  • Importing files (OEM, burn plans, measurements)
  • Adding/editing spacecraft, thrusters, stations, maneuvers
  • Generating ephemerides
  • Viewing covariance matrices and burn details

​
Real-time Updates
