	[[~~GALILEO~~ Search and Rescue Service~~\|GALILEO Support to Search and Rescue Service (SAR)~~]] represents the contribution of Europe to the international [http://www.cospas-sarsat.org/ COSPAS-SARSAT] co-operative effort on humanitarian Search and Rescue activities. Galileo is to play an important part of the Medium Earth Orbit Search and Rescue system (MEOSAR). Galileo satellites will be able to pick up signals from emergency beacons carried on ships, planes or persons and ultimately send these back to national rescue centres. From this, a rescue centre can know the precise location of an accident. At least one Galileo satellite will be in view of any point on Earth so near real-time distress alert is possible. In some cases, feedback could be sent back to a beacon, something which is only made possible by Galileo.		#REDIRECT[[Galileo Search and Rescue Service]]
