EB-10
The COSPAS-SARSAT system is a satellite-aided SAR system designed to locate distress beacons transmitting on the frequencies 121.5MHz or 406MHz. It is intended to serve all organizations in the world with responsibility for SAR operations whether a distress occurs at sea, in the air or land. The COSPAS-SARSAT has demonstrated that the detection and location of distress signals can be facilitated by global monitoring based on low-altitude satellites in near-polar orbits. It has been used successfully in a large number of SAR operations world-wide.
