HETE2GCN Catalog
HETE-2 (the High Energy Transient Explorer) is an international mission
designed to help unravel the mystery of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The primary
goal of HETE-2 is to determine the origin and nature of cosmic gamma-ray
bursts (GRBs) by simultaneous observation of soft and medium X-rays and
gamma-rays to provide precise localization of GRBs and identification of
counterparts to these explosions. HETE-2 carries three science instruments: a
set of wide-field gamma-ray spectrometers (FREGATE), a wide-field X-ray
monitor (WXM, and a set of soft X-ray cameras (SXC) HETE-2 was launched on
October 9, 2000, and declared fully operational on February 6, 2001.

HETE2TL Catalog
The HETE2TL database table records the pointing direction of the HETE-2
boresight camera and the roll angle of the HETE-2 spacecraft at each given
time, as determined by the aspect camera/optical sub-system aboard HETE-2.
