System files

Every system, whether it’s from the catalogue, made from a seed or exported from the simulator, is a system file: JSON with a schemaVersion, a name, a basis and its bodies in objects.

• basis: "elements" holds orbital elements, each at its own epoch. Opening one moves every body to the current time. Catalogue systems such as Sol use it.
• basis: "snapshot" holds the bodies as they were at simulationTime, plus the seed for generated systems. Opening one resumes from that time. The simulator’s Export writes one.

The schema is in @teskooano/system-file.

Catalogue API

The catalogue is open to read, with no key needed:

Request	Returns
GET /api/catalogue	Published systems: slug, name, description, bodyCount
GET /api/catalogue/{slug}	The system file, such as /api/catalogue/sol

Responses can be cached for 5 minutes. To open a catalogue system in the simulator, link to /teskooano/c/{slug}. To open a generated system, link to /teskooano/seed/{seed}.
