## 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 spacex-launches-today-a94f6aed
```

Example prompt: Are there any SpaceX launches happening today or in the next 24 hours?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to know specifically about SpaceX launches happening today or in the next 24 hours. Prefer this over the next-5-launches endpoint when the user only cares about imminent launches and wants a quick yes/no answer with immediate mission details. Use the next-5 endpoint if the user wants a broader upcoming schedule.

## Known failure modes

- Empty list returned when no launches are scheduled in the 24-hour window (not an error, expected behavior)
- 402 Payment Required if USDC payment is not included or processed
- 503 Service Unavailable if the underlying data source (SpaceX API) is down
- Rate limiting or timeout if the render.com free-tier instance is cold-starting

## How this service works

SpaceX launches in the next 24 hours (empty list if none)

## Output

A list of SpaceX launches scheduled within the next 24 hours, each including mission name, launch pad, and T-0 countdown details. Returns an empty list if no launches are planned in that window.
