Scientific paper

We are designing MARGIE as a 100 day ULDB mission to: a) detect and localize gamma-ray bursts; and b) survey the hard X-ray sky. MARGIE will consist of one small field-of-view (FOV) and four large FOV coded mask modules mounted on a balloon gondola. The burst position will be calculated onboard and disseminated in near-real time, while information about every count will be telemetered to the ground for further analysis. In a 100-day mission we will localize ~40 bursts with peak photon fluxes from 0.14 to ~5 ph cm-2 s-1 using 1 s integrations; the typical localization resolution will be better than ~2 arcminutes. .
