KONUS-W gamma-ray burst experiment for ISTP WIND spacecraftThe primary task of the KONUS-W experiment to be flown on board the WIND spacecraft is to observe gamma-ray bursts and solar flares with moderate and high time resolution. The scientific objectives of the experiment include the study of continuum energy spectra and spectral features of these events in the energy range of 10 keV to 10 MeV as well as their time histories in soft, medium, and hard energy bands with a time resolution up to 2 ms. The general design and operation of the KONUS-W gamma-ray detector are briefly described, and the nomial program of burst observations is examined.
