We show that (1) the newly discovered supernova remnant in Vela, GRO J0852-4642/RX J0852.0-4622, was probably created by a core-collapse supernova of a 15 solar-mass star about 700 yrs ago at a distance of ~ 150 pc, and (2) the same supernova which produced the (44) Ti detected by COMPTEL from this source may also be responsible for the (26) Al emission in the same direction observed by COMPTEL. Our analysis favors a large current SNR shell expansion speed of more than 3,000 km s(-1) , more than a factor of 2 greater than that naively derived from the X-ray data. A combination of our source parameter estimates and the positional coincidence of the new SNR with the centroid of the COMPTEL (26) Al emission feature of the Vela region argues strongly for a causal connection. We also discuss some other significant theoretical implications.
