Following the previous outbursts (Atel #2319, #2369) MAXI/GSC has again detected an X-ray activity of the recurrent transient binary X-ray pulsar V0332+53. These series of 3 outbursts are observed after an interval of 27 years (Stella et al. 1985, ApJ, 288, L45). The one-day averaged flux in the 1.5-20 keV band reached ~20 mCrab on 5 February 2010 (MJD 55232). The current increasing trend of the source flux is comparable to those of the previous activities.
