These technologies allow hikers, boaters, and pilots activate a distress beacon should they find themselves in trouble.

For Artemis II, NASA is equipping second-generation beacons called <a href=\"https:\/\/esc.gsfc.nasa.gov\/projects\/SAR?tab=artemis\" rel=\"noopener\">Advanced Next-Generation Emergency Locators (ANGEL)<\/a> on the astronauts\u2019 life preservers and installing another location beacon onto the Orion capsule so both can be located quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?w=1366\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Cody Kelly and Thomas Montano from the Goddard Search and Rescue team showcasing the ANGEL beacons.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg 5464w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=768,1151 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=683,1024 683w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=1025,1536 1025w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=1366,2048 1366w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=600,900 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=800,1200 800w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/urt-10-2.jpg?resize=1334,2000 1334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Cody Kelly and Thomas Montano from the Goddard Search and Rescue team showcasing the ANGEL beacons.\n<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The ANGEL beacon is a palm-sized device that integrates into the Orion Crew Survival Systems suit the astronauts will wear during launch and landing.

As the capsule re-enters Earth\u2019s atmosphere, search and rescue team members will be on board the U.S. Navy ship involved in recovery operations, tracking Orion\u2019s beacon to determine exact splashdown location. This is achieved through the Search and Rescue Intelligent Terminal, or SAINT, which was successfully tested during the uncrewed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/artemis-1\" rel=\"noopener\">Artemis I mission<\/a> in 2022. Once the main parachutes deploy on the capsule, the beacon is activated, and SAINT begins feeding location data to the recovery crew.
