Using the data set from T-61 to T+242 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 150302A (trigger #633237)
(Lien, et al., GCN Circ. 17526).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 175.515, 36.852 deg which is
 RA(J2000)  =  11h 42m 03.6s
 Dec(J2000) = +36d 51' 06.3"
with an uncertainty of 2.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a weak single-peaked structure that
starts
at ~ T-1 s, peaks at ~T+3 s, and ends at ~T+20 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 23.74
+- 8.79 sec
(estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.14 to T+28.23 sec is best fit by a
simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.69 +- 0.33.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.6 +- 0.6 x 10^-7
erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+2.61 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.4 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
