A. von Kienlin, G. Lichti, and A. Rau, on behalf of the
INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, and

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

Ulysses, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Konus-Wind  observed this GRB at 04637
seconds.  As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 8
seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately  3.5E-06 erg/cm2, and a
peak flux of approximately  7.6E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.25 seconds.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered  at RA,
Decl(2000)= 332.708, -37.556 degrees, whose radius is 76.840 +/-  0.037
degrees (3 sigma ).

This annulus may be constrained and/or improved, but as the event was
not observed by Mars Odyssey, a small error box cannot be derived for
it.

K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, and

A. von Kienlin, G. Lichti, and A. Rau, on behalf of the
INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, report:

GRB030501B was detected by Konus-Wind at 01:17:21.824 UT
and Helicon-Coronas-F at 01:17:20.607 UT.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at
RA(2000) = 224.210 deg,
Decl(2000) = -21.142 deg,
Radius = 81.01 +/- 0.68 degrees (3 sigma ).
This annulus intersects the IPN annulus (GCN 2186) to form two
error boxes, only one of which has the correct ecliptic latitude.
Preliminary 3 sigma error box has approximate area of 400 sq. arcmin :

                        RA(2000)    Dec(2000)
ERROR BOX CENTER:      290.651        28.413
ERROR BOX CORNER 1:    291.282        28.814
ERROR BOX CORNER 2:    289.984        28.071
ERROR BOX CORNER 3:    290.026        28.007
ERROR BOX CORNER 4:    291.324        28.750
