Popis:	Despite recent progress with the detection of afterglows of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), the nature of these events is unknown. However, important clues to understanding what the GRBs are, may very well be found by studying the x-ray afterglows. The combination on SRG of the MOXE all-sky monitor for detecting GRBs, and the powerful pointed SODART telescopes will be a unique tool for studying the long-term behavior of GRB afterglows. It is shown that SODART will be able to follow the temporal and spectral development of a GRB similar to the now famous GRB 970228 event for well over 20 days in order to provide constraints on theoretical models.
