The European γ-ray satellite INTEGRAL, launched on October 17, 2002, is the successor to the highly successful American satellite Compton-GRO. Even though its main observational program focuses on “classical” high-energy sources like compact X-ray binaries or AGNs, some time is being devoted to γ-ray studies of massive stars and magnetically active late-type stars. We briefly describe here the four instruments of INTEGRAL, and summarize the ongoing stellar programs.
