Scientific paper

The Cooperative Astrophysics and Technology Satellite (CATSAT) is a University Explorer (UNEX) Class Mission that is being constructed by the University of New Hampshire and the University of Leicester. The primary scientific goal of the mission is to study the spectral properties of gamma-ray bursts in the energy range range from 500 eV to 5 MeV with particular emphasis on the 500 eV to 10 keV energy band. The satellite will be zenith pointed and flown in a 590 km sun-synchronous terminator orbit. Here we briefly discuss the mission and the expected scientific results.
