Complete set · 12 capabilities

The complete ESA NEOCC capability set.

These are the exact actions your AI can choose when you ask it to work with ESA NEOCC.

Capability set01 / 03

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 12 available through ESA NEOCC.

  1. 01

    Get object close approaches

    G., "2024YR4", "99942 Apophis"). Returns miss distance, date, velocity, and brightness for each encounter. Use URL-encoded designations for objects with spaces. Get all close approaches for a specific asteroid

  2. 02

    Check esa neocc status

    Returns the connection status and service URL. Use this to verify the integration is working correctly. Verify ESA NEOCC API connectivity

  3. 03

    Get all nea list

    Returns designations only. Warning: this list contains thousands of entries. Use for comprehensive audits or when searching for a specific designation. Get the complete catalog of all known near-Earth asteroids

  4. 04

    Get impact table

    Lists virtual impactors with their projected impact dates, impact probabilities, and Palermo Scale values. This is the primary ESA output for planetary defence risk assessment. Get impact monitoring data for potentially hazardous objects

Capability set02 / 03

05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 12 available through ESA NEOCC.

  1. 05

    Get object ephemerides

    Returns right ascension, declination, distance, and visual magnitude at each timestep. Useful for planning telescope observations or determining current sky position. Get ephemerides for a specific asteroid

  2. 06

    Get recent close approaches

    Useful for reviewing past flyby events and validating orbital predictions. Get recent asteroid close approaches that already occurred

  3. 07

    Get object orbital elements

    Essential for trajectory computation and impact probability assessment. Get orbital elements for a specific asteroid

  4. 08

    Get object physical properties

    Data sourced from the ESA NEOCC physical properties database. Get physical properties of a specific asteroid

Capability set03 / 03

09-12

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 12 available through ESA NEOCC.

  1. 09

    Get priority list

    These objects have incomplete orbital arcs and could be reclassified with additional tracking data. Get priority NEOs requiring follow-up observation

  2. 10

    Get special risk list

    These objects have heightened scientific interest for planetary defence. Get the ESA special priority risk list

  3. 11

    Get upcoming close approaches

    Data is updated multiple times per day directly from the ESA Space Safety programme. Get upcoming asteroid close approaches to Earth

  4. 12

    Get risk list

    Each entry includes the object designation, estimated diameter, cumulative impact probability (IP), Palermo Scale value (PS), and Torino Scale rating. Objects on this list are being actively monitored by the ESA Planetary Defence Office. Get the ESA asteroid impact risk list

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 12 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of ESA NEOCC, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with ESA NEOCC. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions ESA NEOCC owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key to use this server?

    No. The ESA NEOCC API is completely public and requires no authentication. Simply subscribe to this server and enter any placeholder value in the API key field to start querying asteroid data immediately.

  • 02

    How often is the asteroid data updated?

    The ESA NEOCC updates its close approach data, risk lists, and impact monitoring tables multiple times per day. Orbital elements and physical properties are updated whenever new observational data becomes available from ground-based telescopes worldwide.

  • 03

    Can I query data for a specific asteroid like Apophis?

    Yes! Use the object-specific capabilities with the asteroid's designation. For example, query orbital elements for '99942' (Apophis), or get close approaches for '2024YR4'. The designation should match the official IAU format used in the NEOCC database.
