How does the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system determine the position of a ship in distress?
By measuring the Doppler shift of the 406 MHz signal taken at several different points in its orbit .
The EPIRB always transmits its position which is relayed by the satellite to the Local User Terminal.
It takes two different satellites to establish an accurate position.
None of the above.
