Abstract
The bursting pulsar GRO J1744-28, which flared up in December 1995, ha s become one of the most interesting objects for X-ray astrophysics. T he observations of this source with the TTM instrument on the Kvant mo dule of the Russian Mir Space Station are discussed. The light curves obtained during the five recorded bursts from the source are presented . The TTM localization of the X-ray source with an accuracy of 1' is g iven. The burst source is shown to coincide in position with GRO J1744 -28. The 2-27-keV spectra of the object during and between bursts are constructed.
