System State Atlas 2.0: a shared reference, with the sources attached
Sourced planetary states, five connected 3D views and a technical framework for asking what comes next.
System State Atlas 2.0 brings the solar-system atlas, With Earth and Galactic State Compass into one scientific workspace. It connects five interactive 3D views—Earth, the Solar System, Galactic context, the sky compass and a generic posture guide—with a technical USST panel and an Earth-and-industry laboratory.
The core is a map whose numbers remain inspectable. Prepared NASA/JPL Horizons ephemerides supply identified positions and velocities, with their time scale, reference frame, source solution and coverage retained. The atlas distinguishes Earth’s center, the Moon and the Earth–Moon barycenter, and identifies the outer-planet system barycenters. A fetched ephemeris is a scientific model of motion constrained by observations; it is not a stream of raw telescope observations. JPL Horizons documentation
The update also develops Unified System State Time—USST as a proposed integration framework. It connects civil-time input to declared astronomical time labels and displays an elapsed-TCB convention, while keeping the chosen epoch, conversion assumptions and spatial compatibility visible. USST introduces no new law of physics, universal master clock or adopted international time standard.
Readers can move between a local horizon and wider frames, inspect directions and relative motion, and save a study for another reader. The full earlier instruments remain available as companions, including their optional reflection and orientation features. Their reflective language remains separate from astronomical calculation.
The new Earth for Life. Space for Heavy Lifting. 2.0 statement turns a direction of travel into an engineering question: when does a proposed off-world service actually reduce the complete burden of supplying it? The interactive laboratory exposes assumptions about power collection, waste heat and imported mass. The statement adds a worked payload-energy example, lifecycle comparison, demonstrated manufacturing results, recorded failures, orbital debris and responsibility for disposal. A successful calculation under selected inputs remains a scenario, not proof that a facility is feasible or environmentally preferable.
The atlas is prepared for ordinary static hosting. Its bundled reference data and calculations do not need an AI service, a cloud worker or a continuously connected browser. Updates can be prepared, checked and deliberately adopted; existing studies retain the release they used.
This is a System State deployment of public software, reference data and an inspectable method. It does not deploy an industrial installation or establish authority over space. The package is designed to move later to systemstate.us; that future migration is separate from this release.
