# Space Launches Upcoming Feed (Launch Library 2)

> Space Launches Upcoming Feed (Launch Library 2) is a paid API for AI agents from x402-datashop-production.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns upcoming worldwide space launches with window timing, provider, pad/location, mission details, and go/TBD status, sourced from Launch Library 2 via a 1-hour cache.

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 space-launches-upcoming-feed-launch-library-2-e19daef6
```

Example prompt: What are the next 10 upcoming rocket launches from SpaceX? Show me anything scheduled after August 1, 2026.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date global space launch schedules including mission details, provider, pad location, and launch window confidence (GO/TBD). Prefer over scraping news sites or Wikipedia; it sources directly from the authoritative Launch Library 2 database maintained by The Space Devs. Best when filtering by provider (e.g. SpaceX, Rocket Lab), date range, or keyword (e.g. Starlink, Falcon).

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Launch Library 2 rate limit hit — cache may be stale by up to 1 hour, but response still served
- Invalid date format for net_gte/net_lte — returns 400 or empty results
- limit out of range (>25 or <1) — may return validation error
- Provider name misspelling yields no results without error
- No launches match filters — returns empty list with count 0

## How this service works

Upcoming space launches worldwide from Launch Library 2 (The Space Devs): launch window (NET, window start/end), provider, pad and location, mission name/type/orbit, go/TBD status. Query: ?limit=10&search=falcon&provider=SpaceX&net_gte=2026-08-01&net_lte=2026-09-01 (all optional). Served from a 1h cache (upstream is rate-limited); count field gives the full upcoming total.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of upcoming space launches (up to 25), each with the NET (No Earlier Than) datetime, window start/end, launch service provider name, launch pad name and location, mission name, mission type, target orbit, and go/TBD readiness status. A top-level count field gives the total number of upcoming launches matching the query.
