Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 180602A (trigger #835200)
(Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 22752).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 142.343, 32.080 deg which is 
  RA(J2000)  =  09h 29m 22.4s 
  Dec(J2000) = +32d 04' 48.1" 
with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 78%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a single-peaked structure that starts 
at ~T-30 s, peaks at ~T-20 s, and ends at ~T+25 s. We note that the burst
emission indeed started and peaked during a pre-planned spacecraft slew,
and the trigger occurred near the end of the pulse when the slew settled. 
T90 (15-350 keV) is 45.4 +- 7.1 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-29.32 to T+25.73 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.72 +- 0.11.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.6 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-20.12 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.9 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
