Boulder Environmental Sciences and Technology

Boulder Environmental Sciences and Technology (BEST) is an engineering company specializing in the development of remote sensing instruments for environmental observations. The company's flagship product is microwave radiometers, also known as passive microwave sensors, which are adept at detecting water and its phase (ice, snow, liquid) in the environment, providing unique insights into weather and climate. These sensors have the remarkable ability to observe through clouds and precipitation, making them invaluable all-weather instruments capable of measuring rain rate, cloud properties, surface moisture, ocean surface wind vector, and more. BEST takes pride in its ability to build unique instruments tailored to clients' specifications, and its deployable offset parabolic reflector antenna stands out as the only antenna on the planet capable of operating up to 100 GHz, with ongoing development of a 200 GHz model. Founded in 2006 and based in the United States, BEST secured its last investment of $720.80K in the form of a grant from the National Science Foundation on 17 March 2017. With a strong focus on manufacturing, BEST is poised to continue its innovative contributions to the field of environmental technology.
