# How to Track Launches with Claude

Claude brings multi-step analytical reasoning to space exploration data, connecting NASA imagery with mission context and explaining the science behind astronomical phenomena at whatever knowledge level you need. Each query becomes a layered investigation where Claude traces relationships between current observations and broader research themes, identifies noteworthy near-Earth objects, and synthesizes data from multiple sources into a coherent picture of what is happening in our corner of the universe.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Get recent NASA launch imagery and current ISS position"
3. Claude returns launch photos and station coordinates
4. Ask: "When is the next crew rotation mission?"
5. Get mission context and tracking data

## Example Prompt

```
Show me NASA imagery from the most recent rocket launch and the current ISS position. What mission is the station supporting right now?
```

## Tips

- Search APOD around known launch dates for the best mission imagery
- Track the ISS position after a launch to follow the rendezvous
- Ask Claude to summarize what the current ISS crew is working on
