The cadmium zinc TElluride Radiation Imager (TERI) gamma-ray telescope [1], operating on
the International Space Station, reports the detection of GRB 260307A, which was also detected
by Fermi/GBM (GCN 43939), Glowbug (GCN 43950), GECAM-B (GCN 43961), and CALET
(GCN 43982).

Using 1 Hz binning and adopting T0 = 2026-03-07T11:27:59.32Z, we observe three peaks at
T0+1.375s, T0+3.125s, and T0+5.125s with peak excess count rate of 144, 116, 96 above the
100 cps baseline rate observed in nearby off-source intervals.
The analysis results presented here are preliminary and currently lack a detailed response
function.

TERI is an Office of Naval Research funded technology demonstrator for large-volume pixelated
CdZnTe detectors developed, built, and operated by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)
in conjunction with H3D, Inc. The pixelated CdZnTe detectors have an energy range of 40 keV
to 3 MeV per pixel. It was launched on 2025 April 21 aboard the Department of Defense Space
Test Program STP-H10 to the ISS. On the ISS, it is located on the SOX external payload facility
on the Columbus module. Analysis of TERI data at NRL is supported by the Office of Naval
Research 6.1.
