A telemetry probe uses a local stellar configuration to determine its location, then transmits this location back to its point of origin in a small memory canister fired through a miniature [[slipspace]] field.<ref name="esc19">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 19|Issue 19]]''</ref> They can also be attached to a [[Covenant]] ship and track it through slipspace. In [[2537]], at the [[Battle of New Harmony]], the prowler {{UNSCShip|Razor's Edge}} managed to attach one to a Covenant warship at the battle, and track it to [[K7-49]], a Covenant shipyard facility seventeen light years from the UNSC outer colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}} | |||
By [[2558#September|September 2558]], the newest model of UNSC telemetry probe could fit into a small handheld case. A vast improvement over previous models, this new model's micro [[slipspace drive]] no longer requires days to charge, and is completely reliable. It is also noted as being extremely expensive.

A vast improvement over previous models, this new model's micro [[slipspace drive]] no longer requires days to charge, and is completely reliable. It is also noted as being extremely expensive. This type of telemetry probe was to be used on [[Operation: ATHENA]] to relay the [[Absolute Record]]'s location back to the UNSC, but the probe was destroyed when the [[Breath of Annihilation|ship it was on]] suffered heavy damage.{{Ref/Reuse|esc19}} | ||
