# Orbitwren Orbital Data Center Tracker API

> Orbitwren Orbital Data Center Tracker API is a paid API for AI agents from orbitwren.cybermax-tools.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns structured data on space-based AI compute projects, upcoming orbital launches with compute flags, satellite orbit elements, and a daily changelog — with optional filtering by NORAD ID or project.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://orbitwren.cybermax-tools.workers.dev/x402/api/orbits?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.003/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-11
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/orbitwren-orbital-data-center-tracker-api-baeb5d4d
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_jKa8I81237Fb_3iFFghDf

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-orbital-data-center-tracker-api-baeb5d4d
```

Example prompt: Show me all the publicly tracked orbital AI compute projects right now — especially anything from StarCloud — including their NORAD IDs, orbit details, launch status, and when the next compute satellite launch is happening.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, aggregated data specifically about orbital AI compute and space data center projects — not general satellite tracking. It uniquely combines project business intelligence (funding, partners, status) with launch scheduling and orbital mechanics in a single call, and is the best choice when your agent needs to cross-reference launch manifests with compute-specific payloads or monitor the evolving space compute landscape.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized NORAD ID returns empty satellite list
- Unknown project ID fragment returns no matching projects
- Network timeout from upstream CelesTrak or Launch Library 2 data sources
- Payment of 0.003 USDC not provided or rejected via x402 protocol returns 402 error
- Rate limiting if called excessively

## 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 response containing: a list of all tracked orbital compute projects (company, partners, in-orbit hardware, launch date, vehicle, status, funding, NORAD IDs, source URLs); the next 200 orbital launches with rideshare and orbital-compute flags; CelesTrak-sourced TLE/orbit elements (perigee, apogee) for compute satellites; a countdown to the next compute launch; and a daily change log of updates.
