COSPAS-SARSAT

COSPAS-SARSAT is an international satellite system that helps locate people in emergency situations, such as in distress over land, sea, or air. It uses special beacons equipped with distress signals that emit unique radio signals when activated. Satellites in space detect these signals and relay the information to rescue centers, enabling rapid response. The system is highly reliable, operating globally to enhance safety for travelers and adventurers by providing accurate location data during emergencies. It’s a collaborative effort involving multiple countries dedicated to saving lives through advanced satellite technology.
