Introduction

This exercise consists of finding the location of a large commercial jet that has made a crash-landing somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean based one of SARSAT's satellites measured Doppler Shift Data from the beacon in distress. 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 to the appropriate Search and Rescue Point of Contact (SPOC) through the Cospas-Sarsat Mission Control Center (MCC) network [1].
