The right instrument to accomplish your mission

01
Sigma Space has developed remote sensing instruments to measure clouds, aerosols, and wind and trace gases in the atmosphere.
In 2008, we delivered the main subsystems for the first Global Hawk (an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) science instrument, the GH Cloud Physics Lidar.
Our company is a pioneer in photon counting mapping 3D altimeters. We are producing instruments currently being used in cryosphere research in Greenland and Antarctica, and in biospheric research through forest measurements. In addition, Sigma's photon counting technology is being applied in NASA's ICESat II mission. We also produce and commercialize a number of unique electronic products for science and industry including ultra fast multichannel scaler boards, timing units, and space qualified protocol translation modules.
