About Vega
Vega is a spectrum intelligence and management platform built to arm satellite operators with the insight they need to succeed in an increasingly contested space domain. As more spacecraft crowd the skies, Vega gives operators a clear picture of who is transmitting where—and what to do about it.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make it possible for every satellite in orbit to coordinate, rather than collide, in the radio spectrum.
We are building the tools that let operators see how their spectrum will behave before it does—clarifying when their signals will be clean, when they will be at risk, and what options they have in response. By forecasting future frequency use and enabling a real-time spectrum marketplace, Vega helps operators unlock more value from the spectrum they already own while tapping into new, on-demand capacity when they need it most.
The result is a more cooperative orbital neighborhood—organizations and nations coordinating through data and markets instead of competing blindly over a fixed resource.
Why We Built Vega
We built Vega because, as engineers and operators, we kept running into the same hard limit: space was scaling, spectrum was not.
On paper, we are entering a golden age of space. Launch costs are falling, satellites are becoming cheaper and more capable, and constellations are measured in the thousands instead of the dozens. But every time we looked beneath the headlines—from anomaly reviews to interference investigations—we saw the same constraint: all of this ambition is trying to push through the same fixed slice of radio spectrum.
From our point of view, that is not a minor operational nuisance. It is the bottleneck that will decide whether humanity gets the future it imagines in orbit. If we get this wrong, space will be permanently hamstrung by data restrictions—no true data centers in space, no persistent HD video of the entire globe, no seamless machine-to-machine connectivity for the systems we have not even designed yet. Capacity will be rationed, not unlocked, and the next generation of space infrastructure will stall before it ever really begins.
We started Vega because we believe the opposite future is still possible. With the right intelligence and incentives, the same spectrum that feels scarce today could support 10x, even 100x more capability—by coordinating across operators, forecasting when and where signals will collide, and allowing spectrum to flow in real time to whoever can use it best. Vega is our attempt to build that missing layer. If we do our job, the limiting factor for space will no longer be “can we move the bits” but “what do we want to build with them.”
What We Do
Vega acts as a forward-looking map of Earth’s radio frequency environment.
Just as weather models forecast storms and clear skies, Vega forecasts how spectrum will behave over the coming hours and days. We show operators where interference is likely to appear, when anomalies are being driven by external signals, and which regions of their coverage will be clean, noisy, or at risk.
From that foundation, we help customers:
- Gain deeper space domain awareness and RF situational awareness across their fleet
- Accelerate anomaly investigations by pinpointing likely external interferers
- Identify emerging RF hot spots before they impact service
When trouble is ahead, Vega does more than raise a flag. Our marketplace offers micro-leases on adjacent or alternative spectrum, so operators can temporarily step around interference, maintain service levels, and turn idle bandwidth—whether theirs or someone else’s—into measurable revenue.
How It Works
Behind the scenes, Vega’s spectrum awareness engine continuously reconstructs how signals from thousands of satellites interact with one another.
In simplified terms, we:
- Assemble a catalog of satellites whose operating frequencies overlap, sit adjacent to, or create harmonics with our customer’s spectrum
- Propagate each satellite’s orbit several days into the future, modeling how their coverage footprints move across Earth over time
- Run link-budget and interference analyses wherever those footprints intersect our customer’s coverage, estimating the resulting noise and impact on service
All of this feeds into a queryable map of the globe through time. For any point within their coverage and any time in the forecast window, an operator can ask Vega what level of RF noise to expect and what options exist to mitigate it—whether that means adjusting operations or leasing additional spectrum through the marketplace.
Who We Serve
If you rely on space for critical connectivity, Vega is built for you.
Our primary focus is on satellite operators with assets already on orbit, where spectrum performance translates directly into uptime, customer experience, and revenue. We give their operations, spectrum, and mission teams the tools to increase reliability today—without waiting for new hardware, new satellites, or new allocations.
We also support regulators, civil agencies, and defense organizations that need a more complete picture of what is happening in the RF domain. For these users, Vega functions as a shared source of truth for space domain awareness and signals intelligence, helping them monitor activity, investigate interference, and understand how different actors share—or strain—the spectrum they oversee.
How We Measure Success
We measure our success in the outcomes our customers see on the ground and in orbit.
- Reliability—helping operators move closer to five-nines coverage by predicting and avoiding interference before it impacts service
- Utilization—unlocking more bits per hertz by revealing underused portions of their band and showing when small adjustments can dramatically improve performance
- Economics—improving the return on each satellite by turning idle spectrum into a revenue-generating asset and reducing the need for costly over-provisioning
