It was launched on 15 th June 2017 in JiuQuan, China and is currently in service smoothly. It was designed to perform point ing , scan ning and gamma ray burst (GRB) observations and , based on the Direct Demodulation Method (DDM), the image of the scanned sky region can be reconstructed. Here we introduce the mission and its progresses in aspects of payload, core sciences, ground calibration/facility , ground segment, data archive, software, in orbit performance, calibration, background model, observations and preliminary results .
