FAQ

Questions NASA owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I see photos from the Curiosity rover?

    Yes! Use the get_mars_rover_photos capability and set the rover parameter to 'curiosity'. You'll also need to provide a specific earth date.

  • 02

    How do I know if an asteroid is dangerous?

    The get_near_earth_objects capability returns a list of asteroids. For each object, the is_potentially_hazardous_asteroid field will tell you if NASA has classified it as a potential threat.

  • 03

    Does this provide real-time space images?

    The images are updated as soon as they are processed and published by NASA. For example, APOD is updated daily, and rover photos are uploaded as they are received from the Martian surface.
