Asset Location, Recovery & Command – Beacons & Flashers
There are no second chances. Project data and research involves detailed planning, preparation, and financial commitment. Using the best equipment to enhance and secure the assets you have in the field is essential.
SCS understands that data loss is not an option.
The Apollo X range of submersible Iridium self-locating flasher beacons have been carefully designed to track and monitor various equipment deployed in the marine environment, remaining dormant while submerged, attached to any high value asset to ensure a quick and easy recovery. Using Iridium SBD messages to send GPS locations, all our submersible Iridium beacons can be tracked using our XeosOnline web application.
Applications
Tracking and recovery of:
- Deep sea moorings
- Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV)
- Autonomous Underwater vehicles (AUV)
- Buoys and ocean surface platforms
- Deep sea landers
- Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS)
- Any high value ocean asset
- Subsurface Iridium/LED mooring location beacon. 7 D-Cell Alkaline (included), Titanium enclosure with 11,000m depth rating.
Apollo Case Studies

The Apollo X7 is an independently powered, self-contained mooring beacon with the power of an ultra-bright LED flasher combined with satellite communications. Deployment time of up to 1 year below the surface gives 175 days transmission time at the surface.
Subsurface Iridium/LED mooring location beacon. Remote head with titanium enclosure. Depth rating 7500m. Cables and battery options sold separately. 4-pin Subconn connector.
Flexible mounting option with separate battery housing.
Vehicle Power Loss Sensing Subsurface Serial Data Relay, Titanium enclosure with 7,500m depth rating. This version of the Nemo X beacon has been configured so its high-visibility LED flasher automatically activates subsea in the event of vehicle power loss. This allows the ROV or AUV to be more easily located during recovery operations, reducing time spent searching and limiting disruption to ongoing subsea activity. Relays bi-directional serial data via Iridium SBD. Receives vehicle and platform commands via SBD. Also acts as recovery beacon by transmitting GPS location via Iridium Cables includes LED Flasher, battery packs sold separately.
Subsurface Iridium location beacon (no LED). Titanium enclosure. Submersible to 11,000m. (Must specify alkaline or lithium)
Continuously monitors for un-planned or accidental release of subsurface instrument moorings. Uses bi-directional, global, real time Iridium Satellite SBD network in combination with GPS position location. Deployment time up to 547 days below the surface, 30 days transmission time at the surface.
