The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is dedicated to the fine spectroscopy (ΔE: 2 keV FWHM @ 1 MeV) and fine imaging (angular resolution: 12' FWHM) of celestial gamma-ray sources in the energy range 15 keV to 10 MeV. INTEGRAL was selected in 1993 as the next ESA medium-size scientific mission (M2) to be launched in 2001. ESA has the overall spacecraft and mission resposibilities, Russia will provide a PROTON launcher and launch facilities, and NASA will provide ground
