Observation of GRB afterglows with MAXI on JEM/ISS

Abstract
MAXI is an X-ray all-sky-monitor which will be on the Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station. Its objective is to monitor X-ray sources over the entire sky with the sensitivity of less than 3 mCrab in 1 day. The GRB afterglow is one possible objective. One could expect ~25 afterglows to be detected a year at the early stage with this experiment.
