Frequently asked questions
Can I use NASA images commercially?
Most NASA images are in the public domain and free for commercial use. Some images from partner agencies (ESA, JAXA) may have restrictions — check the copyright field in the metadata.
Are audio files also included in the media library?
Yes, the NASA Image and Video Library includes historical audio clips, such as the Apollo 11 moon landing broadcasts, space shuttle mission communications, and sonifications of cosmic data.
What kind of technologies are listed under Technology Transfer?
The Technology Transfer portfolio includes software, patents, and spinoff technologies originally developed for space exploration, ranging from advanced materials to health and medicine innovations.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
