Abstract
The Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO), scheduled for launch in 1990, will provide new and enhanced capabilities for the study of gamma‐ray bursts. These include higher sensitivity, increased time resolution, broader energy coverage, rapid burst data dissemination and burst location by a single spacecraft. All four of the GRO instruments have burst capabilities, however the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) is designed primarily for the study of gamma‐ray bursts. The capabilities of BATSE and the GRO for gamma‐ray burst studies are described.Keywords
