Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210402A (trigger #1040123)
(Page et al., GCN Circ. 29743).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 198.265, 44.510 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  13h 13m 03.7s
   Dec(J2000) = +44d 30' 36.1"
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 69%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that
starts at ~T-50 s and ends at ~T+310 s. The main peak occurs
at ~T+174 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 238.7 +- 18.8 sec
(estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-51.60 to T+310.20 sec is best fit by a
power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 1.49 +- 0.27,
and Epeak of 63.6 +- 22.9 keV (chi squared 58.82 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 8.6 +- 0.4 x 10^-6 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+173.53 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
1.6 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.87 +- 0.06 (chi squared 65.10 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
