Argos (satellite tracking system)

Argos is a satellite-based tracking system that helps monitor the location and movement of objects or animals equipped with special transmitters. When these transmitters send signals, Argos satellites in orbit receive them and relay the data to ground stations. This system is widely used in scientific research, wildlife conservation, and maritime operations to track animals, vessels, or equipment remotely and accurately over large areas. It provides timely information, aiding in research, resource management, and safety. Overall, Argos enables real-time tracking across vast distances without requiring on-the-ground infrastructure in remote locations.
