The Hight Energy Transient Explorer 2 is a small spacecraft to study Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs). Since an afterglow associated with a GRB fades steeply, a fast position alert is necessary to detect its afterglow in early (thereby bright) phase. We report in this paper the detail of the HETE-2 prompt position alert system. HETE-2 has sent out six near real-time alerts until the end of April, 2003. We have revealed previously unknown behavior of afterglows in early stage, and have contributed to study of origin of the GRBs. The HETE-2 Burst Alert System 1. The High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2), launched on October 9, 2000, is a small spacecraft designed to study the Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs)
