Joint research in infrared imager arrays enabled industrial partner Sofradir to become a world leader in the field.
Our RMN magnetometers transferred to Crouzet (now Thalès Avionics) currently equip ATL-2 marine patrol aircraft.  

  • Space
For almost 25 years, Leti has been active on the space industry market in close cooperation with France's national space research center CNES  and the European Space Agency

Examples of Leti's work include:

- Development of bolometers (detectors used for studying EM radiation) for the PACS camera installed on the Herschel satellite, in close cooperation with the CEA's Astrophysics Department
        - Production of absolute magnetometers ensuring the success of the Oersted, Champ and Swarm space missions
        -  Supply of RF microswitches, which are now being qualified on the Athena Fidus satellite.
