🔍 Key Concepts

• COSPAS-SARSAT system purpose (what is it designed to do and NOT do) • How EPIRBs (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacons) are used in distress alerting • The role of 406 MHz distress frequency and Doppler shift in satellite search and rescue

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What is the main mission of the COSPAS-SARSAT system—safety/distress only, or also commercial communications? • Review which frequencies are associated with modern EPIRBs and how satellites determine a beacon’s position. • Consider which statement describes something outside the normal function of a distress alerting and locating system.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you know that EPIRBs are for distress alerting and location, not for routine messaging. • Verify what "public correspondence" means in maritime communications (hint: routine or commercial traffic). • Confirm that COSPAS-SARSAT uses 406 MHz and Doppler shift as part of its locating methods.
