We report on the detection of the Brightest Of All Time (the BOAT) gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A by the MAVEN Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) silicon (Si) detectors. The SEP instrument on board the MAVEN spacecraft at Mars is designed to measure charged particle fluxes and energies. In this work, we show that the SEP Si detectors have detected populations of secondary charged particles and low-energy primary photons from the GRB. Our analysis relies on a series of simplified Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations. We show that electromagnetic and hadronic interactions between the GRB photons and the spacecraft's passive material and Si detectors produced the detected secondary particles.
