Russian space mission "Lomonosov" (*) ( http://lomonosov.sinp.msu.ru/en/ )
was launched 28.04.2016 from new Russian Kosmodrom "Vostochny" to polar
solar-synchronous orbit with altitude ~490 km. Scientific program of
"Lomonosov" includes a multi-wavelength GRB study at different time
scales. In particular the complex study of prompt emission will be
provided based on the direct recording of readings of wide field optical
cameras as well as on the fast pointing of optical and
UV telescope using its moving mirror. The spacecraft "Lomonosov" contains
3 instruments for GRB study: gamma-ray burst monitor BDRG
( http://lomonosov.sinp.msu.ru/en/scientific-equipment-2/bdrg ), a wide
field optical camera SHOK ( http://lomonosov.sinp.msu.ru/en/scientific-equipment-2/shok
) and UFFO ( http://lomonosov.sinp.msu.ru/en/scientific-equipment-2/uffo )
instrument consisting of coding mask X-ray telescope UBAT and UV slewing
mirror telescope SMT.
The Lomonosov GRB monitor BDRG is designed to obtain temporal and spectral
information about GRBs in energy range 10-3000 keV as well as to produce
GRB trigger.
The trigger is used onboard to fix some amount of data before GRB stored
in the internal memory of all instruments of GRB complex as well as to
start the detailed data collection. Immediately after the trigger the
onboard estimation of the GRB position starts. Then the telegram with
trigger information is sent via Global Star transmitter to the server in
MSU and, after automatic ground-based data processing (to exclude
radiation belt zones etc.) to GCN (this will be realized sometime later
after optimizing the trigger parameters during flight tests).
There are 3 GRBs and 5 SGR outbursts are detected to the present BDRG GRB
monitor, which were also detected by other space missions and presented in
GCN:
