The Second Small Astronomy Satellite (SAS-2) high-energy (>35 MeV) $gamma$-ray telescope has detected pulsed $gamma$-ray emission at the radio period from PSR 0833--45, the Vela pulsar, as well as an unpulsed flux from the Vela region. The pulsed emission consists of two peaks, following the single radio peak by about 13 ms and 48 ms.
