report on behalf of the SVOM team:
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM detected a long GRB 240801A at 2024-08-01T03:18:10.000 UT (T0), which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN 36994) and GRBAlpha (GCN 37102)
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the light curve shows that this burst consists of multiple pulses with a T90 of 33.0 s +/-2.6 s.

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.
