Observations of SS433 by INTEGRAL carried out in March–May 2003 are presented. SS433 is evidently detected on the INTEGRAL images of the corresponding sky region in the energy bands 25–50 and 50–100 keV. The precessional variability of the hard X-ray flux is clearly seen. The X-ray eclipse caused by the binary orbital motion is also detected. A possible origin of the hard continuum is briefly discussed.
Key words: X-ray: binaries / observations
