🔍 Key Concepts

• COSPAS-SARSAT purpose and primary mission • Difference between communications satellites and search and rescue satellites • Typical use of EPIRBs (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacons) and ELTs (Emergency Locator Transmitters)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you hear COSPAS-SARSAT, do you think of routine communications, or emergency distress alerts? • Which choice mentions a role that clearly connects to locating and assisting people in distress anywhere in the world? • Which options sound more like general communications networks rather than emergency systems?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically tied to search and rescue rather than general communications or military use. • Recall that COSPAS-SARSAT works with distress beacons (EPIRBs, ELTs, PLBs) – which choice matches that function? • Eliminate any option that does not clearly reflect an international, satellite-based distress and rescue function.
