Abstract

      We present Konus-UF and Helicon-I, the future space-based experiments designed to study temporal and spectral characteristics of gamma-ray bursts, solar flares, soft gamma-repeater bursts, and other transient phenomena over a wide energy range from 10 keV to 15 MeV. The instruments will be mounted onboard the World Space Observatory–Ultraviolet (WSO-UV) and the InterhelioProbe spacecraft, respectively. The spacecraft orbits are going to be far from the Earth's magnetosphere, which enables nearly uninterrupted observations of the entire sky under stable background conditions.
