We report on spectroscopic and photometric observations of the eclipsing binary star sigma Aquilae (44 Aql). Archival TESS and Hipparcos data are used to confirm the orbital period of 1.95028 ± 0.00002 days, consistent with previous measurements. Doppler shifts of the He I line at 4922 Angstroms from high-resolution spectroscopic data were used to model the system's orbital motion. From this we were able to determine a mass ratio of the two stars of M<SUB>2</SUB>/ M<SUB>1</SUB> = 0.79, an inclination angle of the orbital plane of i = 72 degrees, masses of M<SUB>1</SUB> = 5.8 M<SUB>☉</SUB> and M<SUB>2</SUB> = 4.6 M<SUB>☉</SUB>, and radii of 3.7 and 3.3 solar radii, respectively. The mass ratio is consistent with previous results, but we note that our derived masses are lower by approximately 5-10% with respect to most of the previous studies.
