Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 241002A (trigger #1257556)
(Caputo, et al., GCN Circ. 37662).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 140.942, 39.829 deg which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  09h 23m 46.1s 
   Dec(J2000) = +39d 49' 44.5" 
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 69%.
 
The mask-weighted light curve shows an overall single pulse of emission with 
several smaller pulses of emission that can be seen during the main emission.
The T90 (15-350 keV) is 46.81 +- 10.52 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-21.34 to T+44.86 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.02 +- 0.10.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.1 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.29 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.7 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
