Abstract
The ESA INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophyisics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is composed of two main instruments (IBIS and SPI) for the gamma-ray astrophysics (20 keV - 10 MeV), plus two monitors (JEM-X and OMC) for X-ray and optical counterparts. It was launched on October 17th, 2002, from the Baikonur cosmodrome (Kazakhstan) and it will be active at least up to 2008.
