Scientific paper

A report is presented on the French SIGMA telescope, the first coded-aperture telescope to be operated that is sensitive to radiation in the energy range from 35 KeV to 1.3 MeV. This telescope is one of the principal instruments onboard the astronomy satellite GRANAT, launched in 1989 from the Baikonour launch complex. Attention is given to the relevant inferences to be drawn from two years of successful in-orbit operations, in order to better define the next generation of gamma-ray instruments.
