What it does

Orbital mechanics computation using gravitational physics operators. Hohmann transfers, orbital elements, period, velocity — all synced to Zeqond time.

Signature

Request

POST /api/space/orbit/compute

Param	Type	Required	Default	Description
centralBody	string		"earth"	'earth', 'mars', 'moon', 'sun', 'jupiter'. Default: 'earth'.
altitudeKm	number	✓	—	Orbital altitude in km.
inclination	number		0	Orbital inclination (degrees). Default: 0.

Response

{ period, velocityMs, semiMajorAxis, eccentricity, hohmannDeltaV, orbitalElements }

Integrate

1. Domain solver — compose with KO42 + two additional operators from the matching family for pulse-coherent results.
2. Digital twin — pipe sensor data into this protocol every Zeqond to keep the model phase-locked with the system.
3. Alert threshold — flag results whose error_pct exceeds 0.1% as out-of-spec events for the operations layer.

Seeds

• Near — wrap /api/space/orbit/compute in a language SDK so builders can call it in three lines.
• Medium — publish a reference integration demonstrating ZeqOrbit — Orbital Mechanics alongside a real workload, with pulse-aligned metrics.
• Far — propose ZeqOrbit — Orbital Mechanics as an open reference standard so other runtimes can implement it verbatim against the Zeq paper.
