# How to Track Space Missions with Copilot

Copilot gives developers direct access to structured NASA data from within their IDE, returning APOD imagery metadata, ISS coordinates, and near-Earth object catalogs as typed JSON ready for application integration. Generate React components for space dashboards, build map visualizations of ISS ground tracks, or create TypeScript interfaces from NASA response schemas -- all without leaving your coding environment. This is the fastest path from space data to working features.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. In Copilot Chat: "Get today's NASA APOD data using space-data"
3. Copilot returns structured image and description data
4. Ask: "Generate a React component to display this APOD data"
5. Use the data and component in your space-themed application

## Example Prompt

```
Fetch the NASA APOD for today and generate TypeScript types for the response schema.
```

## Tips

- Build daily space image features into your apps
- Generate RSS feeds or newsletter content from APOD data
- Combine with other space-data skills for comprehensive space dashboards
