The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 01:29:49 UT on 21 Nov 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 201121A (trigger 627614994.006474 / 201121062).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 210.8, Dec = -27.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 14h 03m, -27d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.6 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 77.0 degrees.

B. Biltzinger, F. Kunzweiler, F. Berlato, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:
The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
627614994 at 01:29:49 on 21 Nov. 2020 were automatically fitted for spectrum
and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427;
Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).
The best-fit position (1 sigma statistical errors) is:
RA(2000.0) = 212.11+/-1.14 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -25.44+/-1.07 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
At 2020-11-21T01:29:49.01 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected
GRB 201121A (trigger ID: HEB201121062) in a routine search of the data,
which also triggered Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #28935).
The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of a single
pulse with a duration (T90) of 5.47 s measured from T0-0.84 s.
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0+0.30 s, is 487 cnts/sec.
The total counts from this burst is 2001 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the
GRB mode with the energy range of about 200-3000 keV (deposited energy).
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside
of the telescope.
Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
