| ==Overview==
| | A '''Telemetry Probe''' is a [[UNSC]] device. It is likely [[ONI]] made it. The only known usage of these devices was to attach it to a [[Covenant]] warship, and track it through [[Slipspace]], although it could presumably be used for other functions. In [[2537]], at the [[Battle of New Harmony]], the prowler ''[[Razor's Edge]]'' managed to attach one to a warship at the battle, and track it to [[K7-49]], a [[Covenant]] shipyard facility seventeen light years from the [[UNSC]] outer boundary. <ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] pg. 83</ref> |
| 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. 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}}
| | Because the [[Covenant]] are imitative, not innovative, it can be conjectured that the [[Covenant]] [[Spy Probe]] used to find the location of [[Reach]] by attaching it to the destroyer [[UNSC Iroquois]] was based upon this technology, and then the [[United Nations Space Command]] discovered the Spy Probe and reverse engineered it. <ref>[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]</ref> |

| Their purpose is similar to that of the [[Covenant spy probe]].
