Gamma-ray burst astronomy, one of the most active and exciting frontiers in astrophysics, is now entering a critical stage - with dramatic leaps in our understanding of these events, as well as new discoveries imminent. In the upcoming year, improvements in triggering and positioning accuracy provided by the SAX and HETE-2 gamma-ray satellites will allow entirely new classes of events to be studied. Given the recent progress in this field, we are now in a position to design precision, broadband measurements that can provide quantitative information on the as-yet unknown energy sources, the explosion geometry, and the surrounding medium. In particular, the growing evidence of an intimate connection between SNe and GRBs can be definitively tested.
