report on behalf of the SVOM team:
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM was triggered by a short GRB 240715A at 2024-07-15T05:44:03.400 UT (T0), which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN 36866) and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (TrigID 10791).
This is the first GRB triggered by GRM in-flight. The real-time alert data and light curves produced were downlinked to the ground through the VHF system with low latency.
The light curve shows that this burst consists of a single peak with a duration of less than 0.8 s, indicating that it is a short burst.
The GRM light curve can be found here:

During this period, the SVOM/ECLAIRs was in configuration mode and did not collect scientific data, so there was no observation of this burst with ECLAIRs.
The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
