The solid‐state hard X‐ray imager of AGILE gamma‐ray mission — SuperAGILE — has a six arcmin on‐axis angular resolution in the 15–45 keV range, a field of view in excess of 1 steradian. The instrument is very light: 5 kg only. It is equipped with an on‐board self triggering logic, image deconvolution, and it is able to transmit the coordinates of a GRB to the ground in real‐time through the ORBCOMM constellation of satellites. Photon by photon Scientific Data are sent to the Malindi ground station at every contact. In this paper we review the performance of the SuperAGILE experiment (scheduled for a launch in the middle of 2006), after its first onground calibrations, and show the perspectives for Gamma Ray Bursts.
