GRB 150702A, localized by Fermi-LAT (Vianello, Monzani, & Axelsson GCN 
Circ. 17989), has been also observed by Fermi (GBM trigger 457574201), 
Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Swift (BAT), and Mars Odyssey (HEND), so 
far, at about 86198 s UT (23:56:38). The burst was outside the coded 
field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated this GRB to a Konus-MarsOdyssey annulus centered at
RA(2000)=95.937 deg (06h 23m 45s)  Dec(2000)=+24.107 deg (+24d 06' 24"), 
whose radius is 88.902 ± 0.055 deg (3 sigma).

This annulus intersects the Fermi-LAT 90% CL error circle (Vianello, 
Monzani, & Axelsson, GCN Circ. 17989) to form an error box whose area is 
about 5 times smaller than that of the LAT error circle, and whose
corners are:
-----------------------------------------------
    RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
-----------------------------------------------
1 53.1503 (03h 32m 36s) -57.2987 (-57d 17' 55")
2 53.2998 (03h 33m 12s) -57.2234 (-57d 13' 24")
3 52.2673 (03h 29m 04s) -56.7738 (-56d 46' 26")
4 52.1653 (03h 28m 40s) -56.8692 (-56d 52' 09")
-----------------------------------------------

Both XRT sources (D'Avanzo et al., GCN Circ. 17991) are outside the IPN 
annulus and, hence, unlikely related to the GRB.
