We introduce a novel compact 4-channel beam splitter which is based on a combination of dichroic coatings and internal total reflection, similar in concept to the interference double-prism invented by K\"osters 90 years ago. Used with a rapidly-slewing 50 cm telescope in space, this would allow to double the presently known gamma-ray bursts at high (>5) redshift within 2 years.
