Cospas: Russian words "Cosmicheskaya Sistyema Poiska Avariynich Sudov", meaning Space System for the Search of Vessels in Distress. Sarsat: Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking. Cospas-Sarsat is a satellite system designed to provide distress alert and location data to assist search and rescue (SAR) operations, using spacecraft and ground facilities to detect and locate the signals of distress beacons operating on 406 Megahertz (MHz) or 121.5 MHz. The position of the distress and other related information is forwarded by the responsible Cospas-Sarsat Mission Control Center (MCC) to the appropriate SAR authorities. Its objective is to support all organizations in the world with responsibility for SAR operations, whether at sea, in the air or on land. 1, record 1, English, - Cospas%2DSarsat%20International%20Satellite%20System%20for%20Search%20and%20Rescue
