Astrometry Standards

The ATLAS API adheres to the UCC-2940 Consensus, a universal cartographic framework established by the Imperial Cartography Center in conjunction with the United Empire of Earth. This standardization ensures cross-platform compatibility for navigation systems, trade route optimization, and military tactical displays.

All coordinate systems utilize the Barycentric Standard Reference Frame (BSRF), with the primary star of each system designated as origin point [0, 0, 0]. Distance units are expressed in meters (SI standard) for maximum precision in orbital mechanics calculations.

What It Does

Celestial Hierarchy

The ATLAS API provides a structured, navigable tree of all known celestial objects within UEE-controlled space. Each entity is assigned a unique 64-bit identifier for database consistency.

STARS

Primary stellar bodies in each system

PLANETS

Major celestial bodies in orbit

MOONS

Natural satellites of planets

STATIONS

Orbital installations and platforms

POI

Landing zones, outposts, caves, landmarks, wrecks, bunkers, rest stops, comm arrays

JUMP POINTS

Interstellar transit nodes

ASTEROID BELTS

Resource fields and mining areas

Key Features

3D-Ready Telemetry

All celestial bodies include [x, y, z] vector data expressed in meters. Compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, and WebGL renderers for real-time 3D visualization.

"position": [12500000, -3400000, 8100000]

POI Integration

Dynamic filtering for landing zones, space stations, refueling depots, and trade hubs. Query parameters allow fine-grained control over returned data structures.

Optimized Latency

24-hour edge caching for static celestial bodies via CDN infrastructure. Orbital mechanics pre-calculated for instant retrieval. Average response time <50ms globally.

Cache-Control: max-age=86400

Fair Use Policy

60 requests per minute rate-limiting ensures stable ecosystem access. Premium tiers available for high-frequency applications requiring real-time updates.
