The Indian Space Research Organisation and a Navy submarine joined efforts to trace Dornier CG-791 that went missing with three officers on board on Monday night, even as the Coast Guard located some oil spill in the area of lookout off the Karaikal coast.
While ISRO’s search and rescue satellite (SARSAT) would look for distress signals from emergency location transponders (ELT) of the missing aircraft, the submarine - INS Sindhudhvaj, which is on its way from Visakhapatnam, would look for such signals under sea with its sonar.
The satellite positioned on a geostationary platform would pick up signals from beacons of the missing aircraft and it would help find its location, ISRO chairman A.S. Kiran Kumar said.
