1. Distressed mariner/outdoor adventurer/pilot activates beacon (EPIRB, PLB, ELT). 2. Beacon transmits a 406 MHz emergency message containing your Unique Identifier Number (UIN) to the LEOSAR (polar orbiting) and GEOSAR* (geostationary) satellite systems. 3. The satellites relay the 406 MHz emergency message to a ground station called the Local User Terminal (LUT).

The MCC continues to...
