Getting Started

Choose how you want to work with Vega.

No code required

Web App

Sign up and use the dashboard to track satellites, run interference forecasts, and visualize results — all from the browser.

Who it's for

Operators, analysts, and teams who want immediate insights without writing code.

How to get started
  1. 1 Create a free team account tied to your organization with your work email
  2. 2 Add your ground stations either manually or from our existing set
  3. 3 Select your organization's satellites that you wish to track
  4. 4 Every morning a new forecast runs automatically — passes are evaluated and color-coded based on predefined thresholds
Pull data programmatically

RESTful API

Query interference forecasts, satellite metadata, and coverage results via API. Integrate Vega data into your own tools, dashboards, or workflows.

Who it's for

Developers and data teams who need to pull forecast data into their own systems.

Setup
1

Authenticate

Pass your API token as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Enterprise satellite subscription required for all interference endpoints.

2

Query a single point

GET /api/v1/interference/at_point — returns the count of interfering satellites visible at a given coordinate and time.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  "https://vega.space/api/v1/interference/at_point?\
tracked_satellite_id=ts_abc123&lat=40.7&lon=-74.0&\
timestamp=2025-12-06T08:00:00Z"
3

Pull time-series data

GET /api/v1/interference/timeseries for interference over time at a location, or GET /api/v1/interference/ground_station_timeseries for pass-based data over a ground station.

Rate limit: 100 requests/minute. Maximum timeseries window: 7 days (10,080 minutes).

Example response
{
  "data": {
    "intensity": 5,
    "timestamp": "2025-12-06T08:05:00Z",
    "nside": 64,
    "cell_resolution_deg": 0.92,
    "frequency_band": "Ka"
  },
  "meta": { "request_id": "...", "timestamp": "..." }
}

intensity is the count of interfering satellites visible at that location and time. Resolution is approximately 100 km (HEALPix nside=64, NESTED ordering).

Start with the Web App to explore your first forecast, then integrate the API when you're ready to automate. Questions? Get in touch.
