AGILE is one of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) small
scientific missions that is based on a MITA platform
with detectors designed to work in equatorial low earth
orbit. AGILE’s detectors are made by a team of Italian scientists,
the exploitation is open to the international scientific community.
It’s a gamma ray and hard x-ray observatory to survey
the celestial sphere, serving to understand some astrophysics
phenomena like explosions, compact stars, massive black holes
and gamma-rays energetic bursts.
On 23 April 2007 the AGILE satellite was launched
from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota
(India). During its two years of mission lifetime,
the satellite will perform a complete sky survey
by means of a proper observation campaign strategy.
The mission will contribute to the study of cosmic
sources and other highly important scientific phenomena.
