The SuperAGILE experiment was launched on April 2007 onboard the Italian gamma-ray mission AGILE. With a field of view of approximately one steradian and an angular resolution of 6 arcmin, SuperAGILE is imaging the X-ray sky in two one-dimensional projections in the 18-60 keV energy range. After a ~2-month Commissioning Phase, SuperAGILE was set in its nominal configuration at the beginning of Science Verification Phase in July 2007 and it is observing the X-ray sky since then. In this paper we describe the in-orbit operations, the commissioning, science verification and inflight calibration phases, and provide a brief summary of the scientific observations carried out until June 2008.
