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.

The Payload Operations Control Center at the Marshall Space Flight Center is a NASA facility for monitoring, coordinating and controlling on-orbit operations of Spacelab payloads. It is also used for premission test and training activities. The Payload Operations Control Center allows users on the ground to support and interact with onboard mission activities and permits direct communication between the investigator on the ground and flight crew on orbit. It provides ground command capability to operate experiments, manage payload resources and operate payload support equipment. Its facilities and services for instrument monitoring and control are made available to all users who request them. Each user area has a standard set of support equipment and space for special instrument-dedicated ground support equipment. A communication link can be arranged to allow the investigator to perform some or all operations from his own institution.
