  A Chandra AO1 30ks HETGS observation of the X-ray transient micro-quasar GRS
1915+105 reveals absorption edges and faint line emission over the HETG energy
range. We find from a preliminary analysis evidence for prominent neutral K
edges associated with iron, silicon, magnesium, and tentatively sulphur. The
column densities assuming solar abundances are consistent with ~ few x $10^{22}
cm^{-2}$ in excess of the Galactic value, and may point to surrounding cold
material associated with GRS 1915+105. Neutral Fe K$\alpha$ emission, and
ionized absorption from Fe XXV and Fe XXVI are resolved. We limit our
discussion to the Chandra results.
