Scientific paper

It is shown that gamma-ray burst detectors on a network of microspacecraft can be used to directly determine burst directions to a few arcsec in both angular coordinates. This level of accuracy is sufficient to conduct searches for the quiescent counterpart of the burster at other wavelengths. It is maintained that the strawman instrument for the microspacecraft network, consisting of two 1 kg Na I detectors on opposite ends of the spacecraft, is capable of providing a nearly omnidirectional FOV with adequate sensitivity to gamma-ray bursts.
