on behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, report:

The long-duration, bright GRB 210121A
(Insight-HXMT/HE detection: Xue et al., GCN Circ. 29346Not found
 
 

GECAM detection: Peng et al., GCN Circ. 29347Not found
 
 
)
has been detected by Konus-Wind, Mars-Odyssey (HEND),
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Insight (HXMT/HE), and GECAM, so far,
at about 67309 s UT (18:41:49).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
    16.981 (01h 07m 55s) -46.401 (-46d 24' 04")
  Corners:
    17.388 (01h 09m 33s) -46.452 (-46d 27' 06")
    17.369 (01h 09m 29s) -46.539 (-46d 32' 20")
    16.575 (01h 06m 18s) -46.348 (-46d 20' 54")
    16.595 (01h 06m 23s) -46.261 (-46d 15' 40")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 181 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 36 arcmin (the minimum one is 5 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 64 deg.

This box may be improved.

The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming
GCN Circular.
