The AGILE mission started today (2008, Sept. 10, satellite maneuver started at 12:00pm) a 1-month pointing towards the Galactic Center region. The first data taken by SuperAGILE showed the Compton-thick X-ray binary IGR J16318-4848 (Walter et al. 2003, A&A 411, L427) in a bright state. The average 20-60 keV flux measured by SuperAGILE is about 300 mCrab, that turns out to be 10 times larger than its average 20-40 keV flux level of 25 mCrab, as reported in the 3rd INTEGRAL/ISGRI catalog (Bird et al.
