spacex
CLI for AI agents to lookup SpaceX launches and rockets for their humans. No auth required.
Why use this skill?
Integrate SpaceX data into your AI agent. Get real-time updates on rocket launches, mission status, and crew information with the OpenClaw SpaceX skill.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jeffaf/spacexWhat This Skill Does
The SpaceX skill is a specialized command-line interface tool designed for OpenClaw AI agents to retrieve real-time data regarding SpaceX missions, hardware, and personnel. By acting as a gateway to the community-maintained SpaceX API (v4), this skill empowers your agent to act as a mission control assistant. Whether you need to track the next Falcon 9 launch, review the performance statistics of the Starship development program, or list the current active crew members, this skill provides a clean, structured interface for high-quality information retrieval. It eliminates the need for manual browser searches, providing direct, text-based summaries that are optimized for AI context windows.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the necessary permissions and execute the following installation command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jeffaf/spacex
Once installed, the script will be available at {skill_folder}/spacex. No secondary authentication, API keys, or registration processes are required, as the skill interfaces directly with the public SpaceX data endpoints.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for enthusiasts, researchers, or developers who want to integrate spaceflight updates into their automated workflows. Common use cases include:
- Staying updated on upcoming launch windows without leaving your coding environment.
- Extracting historical data for launch records and mission success rates.
- Quick-checking technical specifications for SpaceX hardware like the Falcon Heavy or Starship.
- Providing quick briefing summaries about crewed missions for daily morning reports.
Example Prompts
- "When is the next SpaceX launch and where is it taking off from?"
- "Can you give me a summary of the last 3 SpaceX launches?"
- "Tell me about the Falcon 9 and its recent success rate."
Tips & Limitations
When using the SpaceX skill, keep in mind that the data is sourced from a community-maintained API; while highly reliable, it may occasionally lag behind real-time events by a few hours. This skill is strictly scoped to SpaceX hardware and mission data; queries regarding non-SpaceX agencies like NASA, ESA, or Blue Origin will not be supported by this module. Always verify time-sensitive information through official channels if planning to attend a launch in person. For the best experience, use specific limit integers (e.g., spacex launches upcoming 5) to keep your AI response concise and relevant to your immediate needs.
