Scientific paper

The High Energy Transient Experiment (HETE), an international mission currently planned for launch in 1992, is presented. Its prime objective is the multiwavelength study of gamma-ray bursts with UV, X-ray, and gamma-ray instruments. A unique feature of the mission is its capability to localize bursts with several arcsecond accuracy, in near real-time aboard the spacecraft, and to transmit these positions to the ground, thereby enabling rapid, sensitive follow-up studies. HETE will be launched from a Get Away Special (GAS) cannister on the Shuttle, utilizing a new spacecraft concept, the ``Cheapsat.''
