SuperAGILE is the hard X-ray monitor of the AGILE gamma ray mission, in orbitsince 23$^{rd}$ April 2007. It is an imaging experiment based on a set of fourindependent silicon strip detectors, equipped with one-dimensional coded masks,operating in the nominal energy range 18-60 keV. The main goal of SuperAGILE isthe observation of cosmic sources simultaneously with the main gamma-ray AGILEexperiment, the Gamma Ray Imaging Detector (GRID). Given its$\sim$steradian-wide field of view and its $\sim$15 mCrab day-sensitivity,SuperAGILE is also well suited for the long-term monitoring of Galactic compactobjects and the detection of bright transients. The SuperAGILE detectorproperties and design allow for a 6 arcmin angular resolution in each of thetwo independent orthogonal projections of the celestial coordinates. Photon byphoton data are continuously available by the experiment telemetry, and areused to derive images and fluxes of individual sources, with integration timesdepending on the source intensity and position in the field of view. In thispaper we report on the main scientific results achieved by SuperAGILE over itsfirst two years in orbit, until April 2009.
