In the introduction we give the main characteristics of the Swift mission outlining how the design was driven by the science goals and by the heritage we got from the Italian - Dutch satellite Beppo SAX. We show some of the new characteristics of the X - ray light curves that became evident soon after we obtained the first set of data. In addition to the early phase steep slope afterglow discovered by Swift, we discuss the frequently observed GRB flares and the first localization of a short burst.
