                         submitted by a large international collaboration (Italy, Germany, 
                         Czech Republic, Slovenia, Brazil) in response to the 2012 ESA call 
                         for a small mission opportunity for a launch in 2017 and presently 
                         under further investigation for subsequent opportunities. The 
                         general scientific objective is to perform measurements of key 
                         importance for GRB science and to provide the wide astrophysical 
                         community of an advanced X-ray all-sky monitoring system. The 
                         proposed payload was based on silicon drift detectors (<1-50 keV), 
                         CdZnTe (CZT) detectors (<15-200 keV) and crystal scintillators in 
                         phoswich (NaI/CsI) configuration (<20 keV-20 MeV), three well 
                         established technologies, for a total weight of <250 kg and a 
                         required power of <240 W. Such instrumentation allows a unique, 
                         unprecedented and very powerful combination of large field of view 
                         (3-4 sr), a broad energy band extending from <1 keV up to <20 MeV, 
                         an energy resolution as good as <250 eV in the 1-30 keV energy 
                         range, a source location accuracy of <1 arcmin. The mission 
                         profile included a launch (e.g. by Vega) into a low Earth orbit, a 
                         baseline sky scanning mode plus pointed observations of regions of 
                         particular interest, data transmission to ground via X-band (4.8 
                         Gb/orbit, Alcantara and Malindi ground stations), and prompt 
                         transmission of GRB/transient triggers.",
