Scientific paper

The Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) mission, recently decided by the Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA) and the French Space Agency (CNES), is designed to detect about 80 Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) of all known types per year. Scheduled for a launch in 2012, it will provide fast and reliable GRB positions, measure the broadband spectral energy distribution and temporal properties of the prompt emission, and quickly identify the optical afterglows of detected GRBs, including those at very high redshift. To achieve the scientific goals of the SVOM mission, a very particular emphasis is given to the GRB follow-up by optimizing the observing strategy and the coordination with ground facilities (robotic telescopes, large spectroscopic telescopes, ...)
