Vertat (FEL ZCU) -- the VZLUSAT-2/GRB payload collaboration. The long duration GRB 231204A (Fermi/GBM detection: GCN 35258; AstroSat detection: GCN 35267; CALET/CGBM detection: GCN 35272; Glowbug detection: GCN 35274; Konus/WIND detection at 2023-12-04 20:00:04.344 UT; INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS peak detection at 2023-12-04 ~20:00:05 UT) was detected by the GRB detectors on board of the VZLUSAT-2 3U CubeSat (https://www.vzlusat2.cz/en/). The data acquisition was performed by the GRB detector units no. 0 and no. 1. The detection was confirmed at the peak time 2023-12-04 20:00:07 UTC. The T90 duration is 5 s and the significance during T90 reaches 6 sigma (10 sigma) for detector unit no. 0 (no. 1). The light curve obtained by VZLUSAT-2 is available here: https://vzlusat2.konkoly.hu/static/share/GRB231204A_GCN_VZLUSAT2.pdf All VZLUSAT-2 detections are listed at: https://monoceros.physics.muni.cz/hea/VZLUSAT-2/ The GRB detectors on VZLUSAT-2 are a demonstration payload for a future CubeSat 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.
