We report on Swift monitoring of the newly discovered Galactic Transient source MAXI J1659-152 (Negoro et al, 2010, ATEL #2873; Mangano et al., 2010, GCN #11296). MAXI J1659-152 was first detected in the Swift/BAT hard X-ray transient monitor on September 24th, 2010 at a low significance.
The 15-50 keV flux then rose sharply to 0.033 +/- 0.012 ct/s/cm^2 (150 mCrab) on September 25th, 2010. The count rate continues to rise, although more slowly, and is now 0.046 +/- 0.003 ct/s/cm^2 (~200 mCrab).
