The AGILE satellite operated in a “spinning observing mode” from November 4, 2009 up to January 18, 2024. The AGILE-GRID in spinning was able to survey a large fraction (about 80%) of the sky each day.
(see Nov 12, 2009 and Jan 18, 2024 AGILE news)

In the interactive Aitoff maps blue circles represent gamma-ray sources listed in the 3rd EGRET catalog.
The size is proportional to gamma-ray flux from 3EG (E>100 MeV)
Outer red circle = 60 deg (approximate GRID FOV)
Inner red circe = 30 deg (approximate SA FOV)
The AGILE gamma-ray Field Of View (FOV) is ~ 3 sr.
The AGILE hard x-ray FOV is ~ 0.8 sr
