Response

OK

idEntitystring

Unique identifier of the record.

namestring required

Unique entity name.

classificationMarkingstring required

Classification marking of the data in IC/CAPCO Portion-marked format.

type'AIRCRAFT' | 'BUS' | 'COMM' | 'IR' | 'LASEREMITTER' | 'NAVIGATION' | 'ONORBIT' | 'RFEMITTER' | 'SCIENTIFIC' | 'SENSOR' | 'SITE' | 'VESSEL' required

The type of entity represented by this record (AIRCRAFT, BUS, COMM, IR, LASEREMITTER, NAVIGATION, ONORBIT, RFEMITTER, SCIENTIFIC, SENSOR, SITE, VESSEL).

idLocationstring

Unique identifier of the entity location, if terrestrial/fixed.

countryCodestring

The country code. This value is typically the ISO 3166 Alpha-2 two-character country code, however it can also represent various consortiums that do not appear in the ISO document. The code must correspond to an existing country in the UDL’s country API. Call udl/country/{code} to get any associated FIPS code, ISO Alpha-3 code, or alternate code values that exist for the specified country code.

ownerType'Commercial' | 'Government' | 'Academic' | 'Consortium' | 'Other'

Type of organization which owns this entity (e.g. Commercial, Government, Academic, Consortium, etc).

taskableboolean

Boolean indicating if this entity is taskable.

createdAtstring date-time

Time the row was created in the database, auto-populated by the system.

createdBystring

Application user who created the row in the database, auto-populated by the system.

sourcestring required

Source of the data.

originstring

Originating system or organization which produced the data, if different from the source. The origin may be different than the source if the source was a mediating system which forwarded the data on behalf of the origin system. If null, the source may be assumed to be the origin.

dataMode'REAL' | 'TEST' | 'SIMULATED' | 'EXERCISE' required

Indicator of whether the data is REAL, TEST, EXERCISE, or SIMULATED data:

REAL: Data collected or produced that pertains to real-world objects, events, and analysis.

TEST: Specific datasets used to evaluate compliance with specifications and requirements, and for validating technical, functional, and performance characteristics.

EXERCISE: Data pertaining to a government or military exercise. The data may include both real and simulated data.

SIMULATED: Synthetic data generated by a model to mimic real-world datasets.

idOnOrbitstring

Onorbit identifier if this entity is part of an on-orbit object. For the public catalog, the idOnOrbit is typically the satellite number as a string, but may be a UUID for analyst or other unknown or untracked satellites.

idOperatingUnitstring

Unique identifier of the associated operating unit object.

origNetworkstring

The originating source network on which this record was created, auto-populated by the system.
