Particles sensors for spatial domain

Spatial environment is extremely hostile for instruments and sensors : extreme temperatures, cosmic rays, micro-meteorites …

SiClade Technologies offers innovative and highly sensitive sensors compatible with spatial requirements.

Spatial sensors range

In space, particles come from multiple sources, such as solar eruptions, cosmic rays, space debris … Fast and precise detection of these particles is of a major importance. On one side, it allows to study compositions and properties of these particles, to give a thorough knowledge of the universe in which we live. On another side, it allows to prevent damages on spatial systems and devices (for instance, by detecting the photons emitted by a debris) and for improving the security of crews in space vehicles.

Our solutions are lightweight and unobtrusive. Today it is focused on ultraviolet detection with plan to enlarge to other needs.
