Originally designed for two years lifetime, AGILE exceeded all the expectations.
It is a highly performing satellite devoted to the detection of #gammarays. It is entirely made in #Italy and it is active since 2007. It was developed by #OHBItalia (as Prime Contractor) for ASI-Agenzia Spaziale Italiana with the collaboration of INAF and INFN.
It is equipped with several instruments, operating at different wavelengths and it is therefore able to provide a spectral overview of high-energy events. During its activity it was collecting very important data for scientists and astronomers.
#OHBItalia is proud for the precious contribution offered to the AGILE mission and for the successful achievements that the satellite is still giving to the science research.
