## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability nasa-media-library-apollo-mission-photo-search-f3dec954
```

Example prompt: Can you find me up to 15 image results from Apollo 11 in NASA's media library related to the lunar module landing?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to search for media from Apollo missions 7-17 by mission number. It is purpose-built for Apollo program searches with mission-specific filtering, unlike the general NASA media search endpoint which lacks mission-scoped filtering. Prefer this over the Mars rover endpoint for lunar/Apollo content, and over the general search for mission-specific queries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid mission number outside range 7-17 returns an error or empty results
- Topic string exceeding 60 characters may be rejected
- No results found for niche keyword combinations with certain missions
- Service degraded flag set to true if NASA Image API is partially unavailable
- Rate limiting or payment failure for x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Find Apollo mission photos and media (missions 7 to 17) in NASA's library, with mission year and photo-id prefix.

## Output

Returns a list of NASA media items (up to 25) including NASA ID, title, description, year, date created, thumbnail URL, collection URL, photographer, keywords, media type, and NASA center. Also includes a summary, total hit count, source URL, and any disclaimers or rights notes.
