A gamma-burst monitoring network, involving an eccentric satellite and two interplanetary spacecraft, is planned for completion in 1977. The satellite in earth orbit will have two sets of scintillation counters with moderate spatial resolution, covering an energy range of 20 keV-1 MeV, and viewing about 2 pi steradians. Each of the interplanetary probes will have one set of scintillation counters. The intersatellite timing accuracy will be about 10 ms, which will permit the determination of the arrival direction within about 5 arc min. Special attention is given to fine time resolution and the detection of bursts with relatively long onset times.
