Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210824A (trigger #1070157)
(Page, et al., GCN Circ. 30700

).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 232.115, 11.169 deg which is 
 RA(J2000)  =  15h 28m 27.5s 
 Dec(J2000) = +11d 10' 09.9" 
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 60%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a single broad pulse with some sub-structure.
It begins around T-15 sec, peaks at the trigger time and decays to background by
T+40 sec.  We note that the light curve has a gap from T+110 sec to T+240 sec due to the
burst going out of the field of view (for a pre-planned slew that started before the trigger 
had been fully processed) and then coming back into FOV when the pre-planned slew ended 
and the automated target slew had started.  The burst appears to be over before this time.   
T90 (15-350 keV) is 37.55 +- 4.79 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-13.70 to T+30.94 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.18 +- 0.11.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.7 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.02 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
