Observation of early photons from gamma-ray bursts with the Lomonosov / UFFO-pathfinder
UFFO-pathfinder is a pioneering space mission to observe the early evolution of Gamma-ray Bursts using a fast slewing strategy. It consists of the Slewing Mirror Telescope, for rapid pointing at UV/optical wavelengths and the UFFO Burst Alert and Trigger Telescope. It has a total weight of ~ 20 kg and will be launched on-board the Russian Lomonosov satellite at the end of 2015.
The instrumental details of UFFO-pathfinder and its performance are discussed briefly here.
