    At 20:06:10 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 221202 ***A*** (trigger=1142997).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 77.095, -59.806 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 05h 08m 23s
       Dec(J2000) = -59d 48' 21"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~1046 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
