report on behalf of the SVOM team:
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by GRB 240821A (SVOM trigger reference: sb24082109) at 2024-08-21T18:36:02.700 UT (T0), which was also observed by SVOM/ECLAIRs (GCN 37220) and Fermi/GBM (GCN 37219).
The real-time alert data and light curves of SVOM/GRM were downlinked to the ground through the VHF system with low latency. The light curves show that this burst consists of multiple pulses with a duration of about 1 s.
The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here:

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.
