The Gamma-Ray Spectrometer Experiment on the Solar Maximum Mission SatelliteObservations by the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) on the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) are examined. This detector system is sensitive to high-energy X-rays, gamma-rays, and energetic neutrons. These neutral quanta provide a probe of the highest energy processes in a flare. The GRS has recorded over 150 flares since launch. In addition to the solar discoveries, the SMM GRS has made important discoveries about cosmic gamma-ray sources. These discoveries are summarized.
