Scientific paper

Satellite instrumentation that would serve as one element of a three satellite network to provide precise directional information for the recently discovered cosmic gamma ray bursts is described. The proposed network would be capable of determining source locations with uncertainties of less than one arc minute, sufficient for a meaningful optical and radio search. The association of the gamma bursts with a known type of astrophysical object provides the most direct method for establishing source distances and thus defining the overall energetics of the emission process.
