Vyoma Swan is an independent radio astronomy project. No observatory yet — just open data, small models, and one person doing the work.

§01 Where the name comes from

Vyoma is Sanskrit for sky — the space radio waves cross before anything built by hand can catch them. The swan is Cygnus, drawn as one on old star charts, and home to Cygnus A, one of the brightest radio sources beyond our galaxy.

The plan itself stays narrow. Not a network, not a company — one small radio observatory, run independently, most likely five years or more from now.

§02 Before the dish, there's data

An observatory takes years most people don't start with. So the actual work today happens somewhere else.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Pull raw recordings from open, public radio observatories already running around the world.

  2. 02

    Process

    Run that data through small models built specifically for this — not a general-purpose system.

  3. 03

    Document

    Write down what's learned, mistakes included, before any hardware gets bought.

§03 A slow build, on purpose

Website and brand come first because they cost nothing but time. Everything below that gets slower and more expensive, on purpose.

  1. Website launched Done
  2. Brand identity completed Done
  3. Building data pipeline In progress
  4. First AI model In progress
  5. Automated observations Upcoming
  6. Public dashboard Upcoming
  7. Research publications Upcoming

§04 Who's building this

Vyoma Swan is built by one person — COSCAST — no team, no office, no funding round. Progress and mistakes get posted at @coscasts04.
