The first function of BACODINE was calculating the right ascension (RA) and declination (dec) locations for GRBs that it detected, and distributing those locations to sites around the world in real-time. Since the de-orbiting of the CGRO, this function of BACODINE is no longer operational.
BACODINE was designed to calculate the RA and declination of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) that it detected and distribute those locations to global observatories for real-time monitoring. However, after the CGRO ceased operations, this function is no longer active.
