Mars Odyssey (GRS), MESSENGER (GRNS), Konus-Wind, RHESSI, and Suzaku-WAM 
observed the long-duration GRB 080211 at about 26620 s UT (07:23:40).
The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure with a duration of 
~35 sec.

We have triangulated the burst to the following, preliminary 3-sigma
error box:
-----------------------------------------------
      RA(2000)                    Dec(2000)
-----------------------------------------------
Center:
   43.968 (02h 55m 52s)   +60.035 (+60d 02' 07")
Corners:
   43.862 (02h 55m 27s)   +59.463 (+59d 27' 46")
   43.747 (02h 54m 59s)   +59.921 (+59d 55' 17")
   44.081 (02h 56m 19s)   +60.600 (+60d 35' 59")
   44.191 (02h 56m 46s)   +60.148 (+60d 08' 54")
-------------------------------------------------

The error box area is 409 sq. arcmin.
This error box may be improved.

Preliminary analysis of the Konus-Wind data yields
a burst fluence of ~6x10^-5 erg/cm2 (in the 20 keV - 2 MeV range),
and an Epeak of the time-integrated spectrum of ~360 keV.

Detailed spectral parameters will be reported later.
