摘要：
MAXI, the first astronomical payload attached to ISS JEM-EF, began operation on August 3, 2009 for monitoring all-sky X-ray images every ISS orbit (92 min). This paper reports the first results obtained during the 1-month test observations. All instruments as well as two main X-ray slit cameras, the GSC and SSC, worked as we expected. The detection limits of MAXI-GSC are about 25 mCrab and 8 mCrab for one ISS orbit (92 min) and 1-day observations, respectively. GSC covers about 76% and 96% of the entire sky for respective single-orbit and 1-day observations. MAXI has detected a transient X-ray pulsar A0535+26, an X-ray burst, and a gamma-ray burst in the first month of the test observation period.
