The announcement showed a conversation. "Do you have enough water?" "I have half a bottle." Then they talked about some new compression.

Thanks, I missed that part of the announcement.

That is a very important feature – knowing whether an SOS went through is extremely important in a life-or-death situation (for making the decision of whether to best stay put or try to climb to better signal etc).

PLBs are actually gaining that feature as well (by using Galileo as the forward path for the acknowledgement signal) for the same reason.

Does Galileo offer two-way communication?

Weren’t those part of the “pre-made” emergency questions they were showing?

Not 100% sure but I believe there was also other messages like "Help is on its way"
