Abstract
The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed new and strong gamma-ray activity from a source positionally consistent with the flat spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 (also known as 4C +11.69, PKS 2230+11, 3FGL J2232.5+1143) with VLBI coordinates (J2000.0), R.A. 338.151704 deg, Dec. 11.730807 deg (Johnston et al. 1995, AJ, 110, 880).
