Abstract A technique for the determination of cosmic gamma-ray burst coordinates by measuring the time lag between gamma-ray burst signals on different spacecraft in the near-Sun orbits is developed. On the basis of the well-known relativistic time transformation between barycentric, geocentric, and instrumental coordinate frames of reference, the time corrections for specific spacecraft systems are calculated. Among various relativistic corrections, those are determined that are significant for the method in question.
