Mission control centre (Cospas-Sarsat)

Within the International Cospas-Sarsat Programme, Mission control centres are responsible for receiving and distributing distress signal alerts from emergency position-indicating radiobeacon stations. MCCs are a core component of the international satellite based search and rescue system.
The functions of an MCC are:

to collect, store and sort the data from local user terminals and other MCCs;
to provide international and national data exchange within the Cospas-Sarsat system; and
to distribute alert and location data to associated rescue coordination centres or SAR points of contact

As of 13 May 2009, there are 29 MCCs around the world.
