The basic URL template for requesting tiles from the WMTS service:
{BaseURL}/EQ/{Layer}/1.0.0/{Style}/{TileMatrixSet}/{TileMatrix}/{TileRow}/{TileCol}.{format}
# Variables:
# - BaseURL: https://trek.nasa.gov/tiles/{Body}
# - Layer: Mosaic identifier (e.g., LRO_WAC_Mosaic_Global_303ppd_v02)
# - Style: Usually "default"
# - TileMatrixSet: Usually "default028mm"
# - TileMatrix: Zoom level (0, 1, 2, ...)
# - TileRow: Row index
# - TileCol: Column index
# - format: png or jpg# Moon - LRO WAC Global Mosaic (Zoom 0, Tile 0,0) https://trek.nasa.gov/tiles/Moon/EQ/LRO_WAC_Mosaic_Global_303ppd_v02/1.0.0/default/default028mm/0/0/0.jpg # Moon - LRO WAC Global Mosaic (Zoom 0, Tile 0,1) https://trek.nasa.gov/tiles/Moon/EQ/LRO_WAC_Mosaic_Global_303ppd_v02/1.0.0/default/default028mm/0/0/1.jpg # Mars - Viking Color Mosaic (Zoom 1, Tile 0,0) https://trek.nasa.gov/tiles/Mars/EQ/Viking_MDIM21_ClrMosaic_global_232m/1.0.0/default/default028mm/1/0/0.jpg # Vesta - Dawn HAMO Global (Zoom 0, Tile 0,0) https://trek.nasa.gov/tiles/Vesta/EQ/Vesta_Dawn_FC_HAMO_Mosaic_Global_74ppd/1.0.0/default/default028mm/0/0/0.png
For equirectangular projection, each zoom level doubles the number of tiles:
| Zoom Level | Columns | Rows | Total Tiles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 1 | 4 | 2 | 8 |
| 2 | 8 | 4 | 32 |
| 3 | 16 | 8 | 128 |
| 4 | 32 | 16 | 512 |
| 5 | 64 | 32 | 2048 |
Each mosaic has a WMTS GetCapabilities XML document describing its properties:
