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).
