Argos (satellite system)

Argos is a satellite-based system designed for data collection and environmental monitoring. Launched in 1978, it was developed by the French space agency CNES (Centre National d'Études Spatiales) in collaboration with NASA and several other space agencies. The primary purpose of Argos is to gather real-time data from remote locations, which is particularly useful for wildlife tracking, oceanographic studies, climate monitoring, and disaster management.
