(Bloomberg) -- Constellations of European and U.S. satellites captured emergency distress signals from the doomed EgyptAir Flight 804 minutes after it fell off radar on May 19, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
A device known as an emergency locator transmitter, or ELT, began radioing an automatic distress message at 2:36 a.m. local time, Lieutenant Jason Wilson, an operations support officer at NOAA, said in an e-mail.
Five satellites relayed signals from the beacon to a ground station in Cyprus, said Wilson, whose agency monitors such distress signals, and a document prepared by the French government that was obtained by Bloomberg. The satellites provided a location of a probable crash site in the Mediterranean Sea that is accurate to within about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles).
