SuperAGILE detection of a type I X-ray burst from a position
consistent with HETE J1900.1-2455
ATEL #2238
On November 4, 2009 at 12:25:54 the AGILE scientific operations restarted. The instrument is operating nominally, and all detectors are on and acquiring data. The satellite is currently in a safe spinning mode, with the fixed solar panels pointing towards the Sun and the GRID instrument FOV covering a good fraction of the whole sky.
In the figure below we show a preliminary 100-orbit gamma-ray intensity map above 100 MeV in the spinning configuration.
The AGILE satellite is currently pointing at the Galactic Center 5 OB8200 (Gal. coordinates l= 3.08 b= 5.3) for the period starting on September 30, 12:00 UT, until October 15, 12:00 UT."

AGILE satellite: 10.000th pass over the ASI Malindi Ground Station
On March 31, 2009 at 21:53:38 UTC the AGILE satellite successfully
completed its 10.000th pass over the ASI Malindi Ground Station.
All satellite subsystems and scientific detectors are working
nominally after almost 2 years after launch. This very positive result
is obtained thanks to the efficient collaboration of all involved
Agilists, ASI, INAF, INFN and CIFS scientists, industry colleagues and
technical operators.
