Аннотация:The scientific instruments onboard the Lomonosov satellite include a complete set of detectors designed to study the gamma and optical emission of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The BDRG gamma spectrometer ensures producing a trigger of a GRB and studying GRB properties in the energy range of 103000 keV as well as determining the GRB source coordinates by comparing readings of three differently directed detectors. The SHOK optical cameras (with a field of view of similar to 20 x 40 degrees) fix a set of images by the GRB trigger preceding the trigger and a post-trigger set at a frequency of about five frames per second. The UFFO instrument incorporates the UBAT telescope with a coding mask for measurements within a range of hard X rays and soft gamma rays and the SMT optical slewing mirror telescope, which can be directed at the GRB source in about 1 s to measure the GRB optical emission at early stages.
