1. ABOUT YOUR EPIRB
1.1 COSPAS/SARSAT System
The basic Cospas-Sarsat concept is illustrated in the
adjacent figure. The System is composed of:
• distress radio beacons (ELTs for aviation
use, EPIRBs for maritime use, and PLBs for
personal use) which transmit signals during
distress situations
• instruments on board satellites in geosta-
tionary and low-altitude Earth orbits which
detect the signals transmitted by distress
radio beacons
• ground receiving stations, referred to as Local Users Terminals (LUTs), which receive and
process the satellite downlink signal to generate distress alerts
• Mission Control Centers (MCCs) which receive alerts produced by LUTs and forward them to
Rescue Coordination Centers (RCCs), Search and Rescue Points Of Contacts (SPOCs) or other
MCCs
The Cospas-Sarsat System includes two types of satellites:
• satellites in low-altitude Earth orbit (LEO) which form the LEOSAR System
• satellites in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) which form the GEOSAR System
The future Cospas-Sarsat System will include a new type of satellite in the medium-altitude Earth
orbit (MEO) which will form the MEOSAR System.
1.2 Return Link Service
The Galileo Return Link Service (RLS) is a free-of-charge global service available to Cospas-Sarsat
RLS compatible beacons. The new functionality, currently offered uniquely by Galileo, enables a
communication link that relays Return Link Messages (RLM) back to the originating beacon through
the Galileo Navigation Signal in Space.
The RLS feature is an indication on the EPIRB2 Pro that confirms to the User that the distress signal
from the EPIRB2 Pro has been localised by the Cospas-Sarsat system and is being sent to the
SAR authorities. It does NOT mean that a search and rescue mission has been launched, but only
confirms that the distress alert has been received by the Cospas-Sarsat system and is being routed
to the appropriate SAR agencies. The RLS aims to send an acknowledgment to the beacon within 30
minutes following activation (the response may not be received by the beacon for significantly longer).
RLS is an optional function and may not be permitted in all countries. The full RLS specification can
be found here: https://gsc-europa.eu/sites/default/files/sites/all/files/Galileo-SAR-SDD.pdf
