MASTER-Amur robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 200402A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 27472) errorbox  5729 sec after notice time and 5754 sec after trigger time at 2020-04-02 11:15:32 UT, with upper limit up to  17.0 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 55 deg. The sun  altitude  is -11.9 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -12 deg., longitude l = 151 deg.
