# Application Overview

> Navigate and utilize the VALAR application effectively

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt).

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.

## Navigation Structure

<img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/valar-8bbb18b5/images/global-layout.png" alt="Global Layout" />

### Left Sidebar

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

#### Sidebar Footer

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

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

<img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/valar-8bbb18b5/images/cheatsheet.png" alt="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

<img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/valar-8bbb18b5/images/settings.png" alt="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

* Push notifications for critical events
* Process monitoring (15s refresh)
* Live UTC clock

### Theme System

Switch between Light, Dark, or System-synced themes via sidebar footer toggle
