In October of 2004, Sigma Space Corporation of Lanham, MD, licensed Goddard's Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL) technology. Technology Description The MPL technology makes lidar practical for routine monitoring of atmospheric particles, such as dust, pollution, and clouds. Unlike previous, traditional lidar systems, MPL is eye-safe, small, simple, reliable, long-range and operates unattended. The technology is significantly enhancing atmospheric research. Technology Transfer/Partnership Success Sigma Space Corp. is making MPL available for continuous, unattended monitoring of cloud and aerosol profiles in the atmosphere. Environmental companies and researchers can purchase their own MPL with standard specifications or have the device modified for their particular use. Sigma’s MPL systems are in use in many lidar stations within the U.S. and worldwide, such as in Taiwan and Antarctica.” Sigma Space has a well-established record for high-quality engineering and products for space flight and other research applications,” said inventor James Spinhirne (Code 613). “Their version of MPL includes the latest design and advances from NASA to improve performance and reliability of instruments.” Contact Innovative Partnerships Program Office
