ATC Acquires GE Panametrics Space Instrumentation Group
On December 3, 2004 Assurance Technology Corporation (ATC) purchased
the General Electric (GE) Panametrics Space Instrumentation Group (SIG) and its design, fabrication and
test equipment and resources. The SIG augments the existing ATC high-reliability space systems and
subsystems development capabilities, specifically adding another dimension to the ATC capabilities to
develop and integrate spacecraft payloads and on-orbit experiments. The SIG is the only group that
has designed and fabricated space particle sensor systems for the NOAA GOES Program sensor systems;
the SIG has and is providing the Space Environment Monitoring (SEM) instrument packages for the NOAA
operational polar orbiting satellite fleet.
