SIGMA, a gamma imaging telescope, is the main experiment (1000 kg, D = 1.2 m, H = 3.5 m) of the GRANAT Soviet vehicle dedicated to gamma experiments. The SIGMA thermal control heat rejection device is a Variable Conductance Heat Pipe (VCHP) radiator (0.9 by 0.9 m). For SIGMA, six heat pipes are used with a L geometry, a total length of 2.3 m and a 140 cu cm reservoir. The design and ground thermal test of SIGMA VCHP radiator are presented, and the inflight performance since the beginning of SIGMA's operational life is detailed.
