D. M. Smith, R. P. Lin, J. McTiernan, R. Schwartz, C. Wigger, W.
Hajdas, and A. Zehnder, on behalf of the RHESSI GRB team,

E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, and

T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus GRB teams, report:

This event (GCN 1679) was also observed by RHESSI.  Triangulation,
RHESSI Earth-blocking, and the Konus ecliptic latitude response
constrain the annulus (RA, Decl(2000)=0.517, -35.271 degrees, radius
47.726 +/-  0.026 degrees, 3 sigma) to that portion between RA,
Dec=296.8, -67.1 degrees, and 297.4, -46.5 degrees.

Only minor improvements to this localization are expected.  As the Mars
Odyssey spacecraft was in safe mode, with all instruments off, a small
error box cannot be derived for this event.
