Argos (satellite)

Argos is a satellite system used for environmental monitoring and data collection worldwide. Launched in 1978, it helps track wildlife, monitor ocean conditions, and assess natural disasters. The system uses small transmitters attached to animals or buoys to send location and scientific data back to satellites. This information is vital for researchers to study animal migration, climate change, and other ecological patterns. Argos enables scientists to gather crucial data from remote and inaccessible areas, contributing to conservation efforts and better understanding of our planet's health.
