Structure and amount of information from BDRG 3 detector boxes Type of frame Time interval between frames Data amount, Mb Continuous (180 Mb per day) Monitoring 100ms 87 per day Spectrum 15s 48 per day Event mode 50 per day Burst mode for fast/slow burst (5 Mb per burst) 1-10 ms 1.6 per burst 1-10 s Not regular, up to 106 events The day portion of BDRG data is about 500-1000 Mb
Parameters of SHOK optical cameras for “Lomonosov” space mission Two identical SHOK boxes with wide-field cameras and processor unit for image analysis are used. Each SHOK unit is a fast-acting wide-angle camera, which provide recording of optical emission with maximum magnitude of 9−10m at a single frame and exposure time of 0.2 seconds Parameters of each SHOK box: FOV: 20o x 40o Time resolution: 0.2s Sensitivity: 10 st. mag (in 200ms frame) Mass ~5kg Power ~27W (used by camera and powerful internal processor) Photo of optical camera used in SHOK instrument
Data from SHOK optical cameras transferred to ground Two kinds of data are collected For each GRB pictures taken from ~1min before trigger to ~2 min after trigger with time interval 0.2s are transferred (total FOV frames). Amount of data is ~700Mb per GRB Between GRB triggers the difference between neighbor frames will be analyzed and parts of FOV (several degrees) with most significant changes are transferred. Most of such events are expected to be connected with some near Earth objects.
Production of GRB trigger Several time scales for independent triggering: 10 ms interval, 1 ms resolution of transmitted data (“Fast”) 1 s interval, 10 ms resolution of transmitted data (“Slow”) 20 s interval, enlarged event mode transmitted data (“SuperSlow”) 2-Levels of trigger Internal trigger: only BDRG data fixation Alert trigger: Trigger for ShOK and messages via GlobalStar modem Main mode: BDRG1 SHOK1 (any or if source in camera FOV) BDRG2 SHOK2 (any or if source in camera FOV) Redundant mode: BDRG1 SHOK1, SHOK2 BDRG2 SHOK1, SHOK2 BDRG3 SHOK1, SHOK2 System is operating this way

Thank You!
Accuracy of GRB localization from BDRG data Standard formula for cosine shape of FOV: Here cos 1 ,, cos 2 and cos 3 are cosines of the angles between the axis of correspondent BDRG box and the GRB direction. Result of laboratory test with 241Am source Dependence on fluence, kT and background rate (the results of Geant numeric modeling) Slow GRB triggers (20s time of analysis) were produced by fast placing of 241Am ~130 cm above BDRG detectors and ~53 cm far from axis of the system. Count rate from the source was approximately equal to background one in the 25-100 keV channel chosen for GRB triggering (~30 s-1 for each detector)
