Pulsation from KS 1947+300 is currently being detected in the 12 to 50 keV band with the Fermi/GBM NaI detectors. The pulsation was first detected in the data of January 31.0 - February 2.0 with a frequency of 53.29766(18) mHz, after barycenter correction and accounting for orbital motion using the orbital parameters of Galloway, Morgan & Levine, 2004. The r.m.s. pulse amplitude was 9.7 +/-1.3 mCrab.
This current outburst is the third since the giant outburst that began in October 2013.
