What is Mission Vega
A virtual space company. A real mission.
Mission Vega is Astronify's flagship program. You join a virtual space company as a new engineer, on the team building VEGA-1, an Earth-observation satellite. From your first day to the final design review, you do the work your role does on a real mission, at your own pace.
- 01
The company
Accept your offer, get onboarded and meet your mission lead. Your teammates run the other subsystems, from systems and payload to ground and power.
- 02
The mission
VEGA-1 is an Earth-observation satellite. Every task you take on moves it from its first requirement towards an approved design.
- 03
The work
Each task comes with a brief, real data and hand-offs from other teams. You run the analysis, deliver the result and get it reviewed, earning XP, levels and badges as you go.
- 04
The simulation
Every mission runs on a simulated satellite that behaves like the real thing. Read its telemetry, send it commands and watch the physics answer back.
- 05
The finish line
Defend your work at a mission design review. Pass it and you earn a certificate, skill badges and a portfolio, plus the opportunity to interview with real space-tech companies.
