## 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 saylor-innovations-iss-live-position-people-in-space-2b8f034a
```

Example prompt: Where is the International Space Station right now, and who is currently onboard?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, low-cost ($0.001 USDC) single call that combines both the real-time ISS orbital position and the current crew manifest in one response, without needing to integrate directly with open-notify or wheretheiss.at APIs yourself. Ideal for agents that need quick space situational awareness without managing API keys or rate limits.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream data source (Open Notify or similar) temporarily unavailable — returns 5xx error
- Stale position data if the upstream feed has a delay
- Network timeout if the provider's API is slow to respond
- Invalid or malformed response if the underlying open data source changes its schema
