AGILE
Extremeley Light Imager for Gamma Astronomy


The Agile model build for Carlo Gavazzi by Atelier Guarniero is used in this illustration.

The mission
AGILE will be at the frotier of gamma-ray astrophysics. May sources of gamma-rays exist in remote regions of the space. AGILE will study a variety of cosmic sources and phenomena. AGILE is based on two imaging detectors developed with state-of-the-art solid sate technology. Gamma rays are detected by a 'Silicon Tracker', together with the Super-AGILE hard X-ray detector placed on top of the Tracker this system allows very precise mapping of energie sources.

Atelier Guarniero creates high quality space models, many of which are part of the ESA space program and of the International Space Station (ISS). Each scale model is made exactly matching the real spacecraft using information provided by the European space agency. At the moment we are working on a new line of rocket models beginning with the Soyuz launcher. We are planning to create a full line of rockets to complement our collection of satellites. Make sure to check back often to see pictures of every new satellite we produce.
