The recently active SGR 1935+2154 (Fermi-GBM detection: Malacaria et 
al., GCN Circ. 32737, Konus-Wind detection: Ridnaia et al., GCN Circ. 
32768) was detected by the GRB detector module no. 1 on board of the 
VZLUSAT-2 3U CubeSat (https://www.vzlusat2.cz/en/).

The list of detected SGR bursts with their significance is:

Date and time in UTC     SNR
2022-10-12 23:26:41      17.6
2022-10-13 02:02:43      16.5
2022-10-13 22:41:28      125

GRB detectors on VZLUSAT-2 are a demonstration payload for a future 
CubeSats constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). Two GRB modules 
of VZLUSAT-2 are placed in a perpendicular manner and each consists of a 
75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a SiPM array, covering the 
energy range from ~30 keV to ~1000 keV. VZLUSAT-2 was launched on 2022 
January 13 from Cape Canaveral.
