Sigma Space has been manufacturing Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL) systems since 2004, under license from NASA GoddardSpace Flight Center*. Our MPL is a sophisticated laser remote sensing system that provides continuous, unattended monitoring of cloud and aerosol profiles in the atmosphere. Continuous enhancement of product line, fast deployment, ease of use and minimal maintenance make our MPL an international success. Our MPL systems have been selected for the NASA global aerosol network "MPLNET". Today, all over the world, from New York to Shanghai, Antarctica to Greenland, from Alaska to Papua New Guinea, Sigma MPL systems are being used for cutting edge atmospheric and environmental research.
*Sigma is the only vendor licensed by NASA to manufacture the MPL-4B lidar systems, under U.S. Patent No. 5,241,315. |
