GRO J1744-28 was discovered with the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) on 2 December, 1995, when a series of bursts, almost 3 minutes apart, were recorded with the BATSE Large Area Detectors. After a couple of days the bursts rate settled to ~ 2 per hour, and remained constant thereafter. In January 1996, steady emission exhibiting pulsations was detected from the source, which was then named GRO J1744-28, or the Bursting Pulsar. Pulsar time arrival analysis showed that GRO J1744-28 was a (transient) Low-Mass X-Ray Binary with an ~ 11 day orbit. This first outburst was detectable with BATSE for almost 5 months, during which the source emitted over 3500 bursts. After February 1996, the source was monitored with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), which was able to determine that the steady emission was always present, albeit at a very low level between 2-60 keV. On 2 December, 1996, BATSE detected another series of bursts from GRO J1744-28, originally ~ 3 minutes apart, but settling to the 2 per hour rate in the next days. This second outburst was still detected with BATSE in April. I will report observations for both outbursts and will compare the properties of the source during each active period.
