Before you connect

Questions about NASA.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can the NASA Asteroids MCP track real-time asteroid movements?

Yes, it pulls live feeds from NASA's NeoWs and JPL's CNEOS. You can get current miss distances, velocities, and hazard assessments for objects moving toward Earth.

How does the NASA Asteroids MCP handle atmospheric fireballs?

It pulls data from government sensors to show you where bolides were detected, their estimated size, altitude, and energy levels.

Can I use the NASA Asteroids MCP to find specific asteroids by ID?

Yes, you can provide a NASA SPK-ID and the Connector will pull the full orbital and hazard profile for that specific object.

Is the NASA Asteroids MCP good for planetary defense research?

It's perfect for that. It allows you to filter future close approaches by size, date, and distance thresholds to identify potential threats.

Does the NASA Asteroids MCP provide a list of all known asteroids?

It allows you to browse the complete database of known near-Earth objects page by page so you can explore the full database.

Can I use the NASA Asteroids MCP to check for hazardous objects?

Yes, the feed includes a specific flag for potentially hazardous asteroids, making it easy to filter out the most concerning objects.

What does 'potentially hazardous' mean?

A Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) passes within 0.05 AU (~7.5 million km) and is larger than 140 meters. This doesn't mean it will hit Earth. just that its orbit warrants monitoring.

How frequently is the asteroid data updated?

The NeoWs API is updated daily with the latest orbital calculations and close approach tracking data from JPL's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

Does this API include data on historical asteroid impacts?

Yes, the API provides access to fireball and bolide data, which tracks bright atmospheric meteor events detected by government sensors, including historical records.
