Argos System

The Argos System is a satellite-based tracking network used for monitoring the location and movement of wildlife, ships, and other assets. It works by attaching small, lightweight transmitters to objects, which send signals to satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites relay the data to ground stations, allowing researchers to track movements in real-time or analyze patterns over time. Widely used in conservation and research, Argos provides reliable global coverage, helping scientists understand animal behavior, manage resources, and improve safety and logistics in maritime and environmental applications.
