Learn more about how emergency beacons -- personal handheld ones and those affixed to boats and planes -- can save your life and the lives of others through the international Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking System (SARSAT) program: noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2014/20140117_sarsatrescue.html. You can also visit SARSATs main page at sarsat.noaa.gov to see an interactive map of last years rescues. GOES-R will continue the legacy function of the SARSAT system on board NOAA’s GOES satellites. The GOES-R SARSAT transponder will operate with a lower uplink power than the current system, enabling GOES-R to detect weaker beacon signals.
