As an integral part of worldwide search and rescue, NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] operates the Search & Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) System to locate those in distress almost anywhere in the world at anytime and in most conditions. The SARSAT system uses NOAA satellites in low-earth and geostationary orbits to detect and locate aviators, mariners, and land-based users in distress. The satellites relay distress signals from emergency beacons to a network of ground stations and ultimately to the U.S. Mission Control Center (USMCC) in Suitland, Maryland. The USMCC processes the distress signal and alerts the appropriate search and rescue authorities to who is in distress and, more importantly, where they are located.  4, record 1, English, - search%20and%20rescue%20satellite%20aided%20tracking%20system

L'acronyme SARSAT désigne le Programme du système de poursuite par satellite SAR. Il s'agit d'un réseau de satellites exploités par les gouvernements canadien, russe, français et américain. Ces satellites captent les appels émis au moyen de radiobalises de détresse [...] et les relaient vers les centres de contrôle de mission (CCM) à terre. Ces centres relaient l'information au Centre de coordination des efforts de sauvetage (RCC) le plus proche, qui dépêche alors une unité de sauveteurs. Le système SARSAT permet de localiser un signal de détresse dans un rayon de 30 km.  3, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20recherche%20et%20sauvetage%20assist%C3%A9%20par%20satellite
