SVOM mission is dedicated to the study of the the most powerful transient phenomena, with a particular emphasis on gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). + +The SVOM spacecraft carries four multi-wavelength instruments: ECLAIRs, Gamma Ray burst Monitor (GRM), Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) and Visual Telescope (VT). ECLAIRs and GRM can detect gamma-ray transient sources in real-time with localisation capabilities for ECLAIRs. SVOM can transfer the alerts in near real-time with a typical latency of less than 30s for 2/3 of the alerts and perform autonomous slew for performing x-ray and optical follow-up of the source with the smaller field of view of theMXT and VT instrument + +
