# Orbitwren Launches API

> Orbitwren Launches API is a paid API for AI agents from orbitwren.cybermaxtools.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-11-01).

Returns upcoming orbital launches with rideshare and compute flags, filterable by provider, country, and mission type

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 orbitwren-launches-api-547770cb
```

Example prompt: Show me all upcoming orbital launches carrying AI compute or data center payloads in the next 180 days — filter to only compute missions and include any rideshare flights.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a filterable, up-to-date list of upcoming orbital launches — especially when you want to flag which missions carry orbital compute, AI hardware, or space data-center payloads. Prefer it over generic space news APIs when the compute/rideshare distinction matters, or when you need structured JSON with launch provider and pad country filters ready to query programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid ISO 3166 alpha-3 country code returns empty or error response
- days parameter out of 1-730 range may be rejected or clamped
- limit parameter out of 1-100 range may be rejected
- No matching launches returns empty array
- Upstream Launch Library 2 data temporarily unavailable causes stale or error response
- Payment not processed (x402) results in 402 response before data is returned

## How this service works

Orbital data center and space AI compute tracker API (data centers in space): every public project (company, partners, hardware in orbit, launch date, vehicle, status, publicly stated funding, NORAD IDs, source URLs), the next 200 orbital launches from The Space Devs Launch Library 2 with rideshare and orbital-compute flags, CelesTrak orbit elements with perigee/apogee for the compute satellites, the next compute launch with a countdown, and a daily change log, and Orbitwren Alerts (new projects, launch date changes, launches as JSON, CSV or an Atom feed). REST + MCP server.

## Output

A JSON list of upcoming orbital launches, each with launch name, mission description, rocket, scheduled date, launch provider, pad country, and boolean flags for whether the mission is a rideshare flight or carries a tracked orbital-compute/data-center payload.
