SPIE 2020).\n\nThe detection was confirmed at the peak time 2023-03-05 13:40:31 UTC. The\nT90 duration measured by GRBAlpha is 11 s and the overall significance\nduring T90 reaches 8.3 sigma. This event is consistent with being a long\nGRB.\n\nThe light curve obtained by GRBAlpha is available here:\n\nhttps://grbalpha.konkoly.hu/static/share/GRB230305A_GCN.pdf\n\nAll GRBAlpha detections are listed at:\nhttps://monoceros.physics.muni.cz/hea/GRBAlpha/\n\nGRBAlpha, launched on 2021 March 22, is a demonstration mission for a\nfuture CubeSat constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). The detector\nof GRBAlpha consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a\nSiPM array, covering the energy range from ~50 keV to ~1000 keV. To\nincrease the duty cycle and the downlink rate, the upgrade of the on-board\ndata acquisition software stack is in progress. The ground segment is also\nsupported by the radio amateur community and it takes advantage of the\nSatNOGS network for increased data downlink volume.",
