On October the 17.2002, INTEGRAL started its journey from the Russian cosmodrome in Baikonur in Kazakhstan on board of Russian Proton rocket. INTEGRALÕs task will be to gather gamma rays, the most energetic radiation that comes from space. The events that made the universe habitable were catastrophic. Stellar explosions provided the energy that was needed to form the elements from which planets and living things could be built. INTEGRAL will help us to understand this process in much more detail.
