# Satellite TLE Orbital Data by NORAD ID

> Satellite TLE Orbital Data by NORAD ID is a paid API for AI agents from clonecho.builda.company, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the latest two-line element (TLE) set for a satellite identified by its NORAD catalog number

- Price: $0.02/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

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 satellite-tle-orbital-data-by-norad-id-8158ffb5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get the latest TLE orbital data for the International Space Station — its NORAD catalog number is 25544?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the current TLE orbital data for a specific satellite identified by NORAD catalog number, for use in orbit prediction, satellite tracking applications, pass-time calculations, or space situational awareness tasks. Prefer this over scraping SpaceTrack or Celestrak when you want a simple paid API call returning structured JSON without authentication setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown NORAD ID returns an error or empty result
- Missing ?id= parameter causes a bad request response
- Satellite that has deorbited or has no current TLE data may return no result
- Network or upstream data source unavailability causes timeout or server error
- Payment not processed results in 402 response

## How this service works

Latest two-line element (TLE) orbital data for one satellite; param id is the NORAD catalog number. Query: ?id= Returns JSON.

## Output

A JSON object containing the latest two-line element (TLE) set for the requested satellite, including the satellite name, TLE line 1, and TLE line 2, which encode orbital parameters such as inclination, eccentricity, mean motion, epoch, and other Keplerian elements needed for orbit propagation and tracking.
