report on behalf of the SVOM team:
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM detected a long GRB 240828A at 2024-08-28T14:55:07.200 UT (T0), which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #37317; S. Dalessi et al., GCN #37341), AstroSat CZTI (S. Srijan et al., GCN #37328), Fermi-LAT (R. Gupta et al., GCN #37331), GECAM (Yan-Qiu Zhang et al., GCN #37377) and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (trigger #10876).
At the time of this burst ECLAIRs was not acquiring data.
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 duration of about 45 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.

Yan-Qiu Zhang (IHEP), Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP), Chen-Wei Wang (IHEP) report on behalf of the GECAM team:
GECAM-C was triggered on-ground by a long burst, GRB 240828A, at 2024-08-28T14:55:07.150 UTC (T0), which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #37317; S. Dalessi et al., GCN #37341), AstroSat CZTI (S. Srijan et al., GCN #37328), Fermi-LAT (R. Gupta et al., GCN #37331), Swift-XRT (A.P. Beardmore et al., GCN #37337) and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (trigger #10876).
According to the GECAM-C light curves in about 6-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of about 41.41(+1.13,-1.05)s.
The time-averaged spectrum from T0+0.83 to T0+42.24 s could be fit by a power law with high energy exponential cutoff function with a fluence of about 7.77E-05 erg/cm^2 in 10-1000 keV.
The GECAM light curve could be found here:
https://twikinew.ihep.ac.cn/pubgecam/Sandbox/GRB/GECAMC_lC_GRB240828A.png
The GECAM-C on-ground location (J2000) is:
Ra: 227.7 deg
Dec: 39.9 deg
Err: 1.8 deg (1-sigma, statistical only)
GECAM location is consistent with the Fermi/LAT position within the error.
We note that these results are very preliminary. Refined analysis will be reported later.
Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission originally consists of two microsatellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) launched in Dec. 2020. As the third member of GECAM constellation, GECAM-C was launched onboard SATech-01 experimental satellite in July 2022. GECAM mission is funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

A. S. Moskvitin and V. V. Vlasyuk (SAO RAS),
report on behalf of the GRB follow-up team.
We observed the field of GRB 240828A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 37317;
Srijan et al., GCN 37328; Gupta and Di Lalla, GCN 37331;
Beardmore et al., GCN 37337; Dalessi and Meegan GCN 37341)
with the AS-500(2) 0.5-m Ritchey-Chretien telescope of SAO RAS
equipped with CCD-photometer and Andor iXon Ultra EM-CCD DU-897
camera with 512x512 pixels E2V chip. We obtained 40 x 90 sec. images
in Rc band on August 31 (2024-08-31T18:44:29 -- 2024-08-31T19:59:08),
t_mid - T0 = 3.1852 days.
The OT (Zheng and Filippenko, GCNs 37339, 37349; Moskvitin
and Spiridonova, GCN 37344) is marginally detected in our stacked
frame with the brightness of R = 21.8 +/- 0.3 calibrated against
nearby SDSS stars (magnitudes converted with Lupton 2005 equations)
and not corrected for the MW extinction.

WeiKang Zheng and Alexei V. Filippenko (UC Berkeley) report on
behalf of the KAIT GRB team:
The 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at
Lick Observatory, continued observing the optical afterglow of
GRB 240828A (Zheng et al., GCN 37339; Moskvitin et al., GCN
37344) starting at ~1.54 days after the burst. A set of 31x60s
clear (roughly R) filter images were obtained. The afterglow
was clearly detected in our coadd image and we measure its
brightness has faded to be 20.2 +/- 0.2 mag.
