# ProspectPulse Satellite Scene Availability & Remote Sensing Guide

> ProspectPulse Satellite Scene Availability & Remote Sensing Guide is a paid API for AI agents from prospectpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns which free Sentinel-1/2, ASTER, and Landsat scenes cover a target area, plus a geological remote-sensing guide mapping each sensor to detectable alteration minerals for exploration.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://prospectpulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/prospect/satellite-availability

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 prospectpulse-satellite-scene-availability-remote-sensing-guide-58887797
```

Example prompt: What free Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, ASTER, and Landsat scenes cover the Carlin Trend in Nevada, and which sensors would best detect clay and iron-oxide alteration at the target?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an exploration or geology agent needs to quickly identify which free satellite datasets (Sentinel-1/2, ASTER, Landsat) cover a specific mineral exploration target, and wants guidance on which sensor to use for particular alteration mineral mapping. Prefer over generic geospatial APIs because it combines scene availability lookup with a domain-specific geological remote-sensing guide tailored to mineral exploration workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Target area outside any available satellite coverage — returns empty scene list
- Invalid or malformed coordinates/bounding box — returns 400 error
- No scenes available within requested date range — returns empty results
- Payment failure or missing x402 payment header — returns 402 Payment Required
- API timeout if coverage database is temporarily unreachable — returns 503

## How this service works

Which free Sentinel-1/2, ASTER, and Landsat scenes cover a target area, plus a geological remote-sensing guide, for exploration and geology agents. Returns scene availability and which sensor maps which alteration mineral.

## Output

Returns a list of available free satellite scenes (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, ASTER, Landsat) covering the queried target area, including scene IDs, coverage dates, and sensor metadata, along with a geological remote-sensing guide explaining which sensor is best suited for mapping specific alteration minerals (e.g. argillic, propylitic, iron oxide, sericitic) relevant to mineral exploration.
