Abstract
MARIA (Maxi Array for Rapid Imaging of gamma-ray burst Activity) is a large-area instrument that could be flown on a balloon in 1997-1999. I t is expected to contribute significantly to the GRB log N - log S dis tribution and to provide rapid GRB localizations by means of a rapidly moving gamma-camera.
