A name here is not an official name.
A name you choose here is shown on AstraPixels only. It is not an IAU designation, it is not submitted to the International Astronomical Union or to any other body, and no observatory, catalogue or star chart will recognise it. Official minor-planet names are assigned by the IAU and cannot be bought.
This tier is leased by the year, not bought outright.
It renews annually until you cancel it from your report page. If a renewal is declined the body keeps your branding while Stripe retries the card, and the lease only ends when the subscription does, at which point the body goes back on sale.
A dead link decays this the same way it decays a bought claim.
If the URL you supply fails 3 consecutive monthly checks the body is marked derelict and renders as abandoned, and it is released 90 days later even though the lease is paid. Making the URL answer again at any point before that clears it automatically.
You send us the artwork after you pay, not now.
Stripe asks for your email. We send that address a link to a short form for your brand name, the URL it points at, an optional logo and tagline, and a name for the body if you want one. It works once and expires after 90 days. If it does not arrive, nicklaunches28@gmail.com is a person who will send another.
Nothing appears on the map until a person approves it.
What you send goes into a moderation queue that a human reads. Your brand, logo, tagline, colour and chosen name render nowhere until it is approved, and you get an email either way.
Your position is held for the checkout, then released.
Pressing the button below holds this exact position for 30 minutes so nobody else can pay for it while you are on Stripe. Abandon the checkout and it goes back on sale with nothing charged.
