Vega Documentation

Developer documentation for the Vega API, SDKs, interference forecasts, coverage analysis, and account resources.

Vega helps satellite operators forecast radio-frequency interference, understand ground-station risk, and pull forecast data into their own systems.

The docs cover the REST API, authentication, tracked satellites, ground stations, interference analysis, coverage analysis, supported frequency bands, SDKs, and operational limits.

API Overview

Base URL, request flow, authentication requirements, and the core API resources.

Getting Started

Authenticate, run a single-point interference query, and pull time-series forecast data.

SDKs

Client libraries and examples for Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, Java, C++, and MATLAB.

Core Concepts

Interference Analysis

Query interference intensity at a point, over time, or for registered ground stations.

Tracked Satellites

List satellites monitored by your account and use tracked-satellite IDs in forecast requests.

Ground Stations

Create and manage receiver locations used in ground-station interference forecasts.

Coverage Analysis

Read coverage analysis runs and HEALPix interference cells for map-based workflows.

Frequency Bands

Reference supported RF bands, aggregate queries, and HEALPix cell resolutions.

Rate Limits

Understand request limits, response headers, and batching considerations.

Typical Request Flow

Authenticate with POST /auth, or provide a long-lived VEGA_API_TOKEN.
List tracked satellites with GET /tracked_satellites.
List receiver locations with GET /ground_stations.
Query interference over a coordinate or ground station.
Use coverage analysis endpoints for map cells and time-series workflows.
