- A log buoy downloads all pertinent data from a starship or starbase under threat and stores it for future analysis by investigators. This device can withstand the total destruction of a starship or starbase with minimal damage, or can be launched in a last-ditch effort before destruction or capture.

| - A log buoy downloads all pertinent data from a starship or starbase under threat and stores it for future analysis by investigators. This device can withstand the total destruction of a starship or starbase with minimal damage, or can be launched in a last-ditch effort before destruction or capture. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) The log buoy can also be called a recorder-marker, recorder marker, mission recorder, data recorder, flight data recorder (sometimes known as FLIDAR) and flight recorder amongst other things. The USS Enterprise had encounters with at least two recorder-markers within the first few months of their mission under Captain James Kirk's command. In 2265, the SS Valiant's recorder-marker from 2065 was brought aboard, surprisingly in working order. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before") Months later, in 2266, the Enterprise launched a recorder-marker when threatened by Fesarius, but it was destroyed. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver") During Lieutenant Saavik's Kobayashi Maru simulation exam in 2285, one of her last actions was to order the log buoy be sent out. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) In early 2295, during a shakedown cruise of USS Denpasar, officers from the starships USS Ajax, USS Jemison and USS Corregidor joined a Shadowstar expedition to determine the fate of the UNSS Jutland, whose flight data recorder was found 10,000 light years from its last reported position, 140 years previously. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: "Morituri te Salutamus") A Special Operations team using the USS Koru as a base of operations were responsible for recovering the USS William Hamilton's flight recorder in 2372. The USS Cantabrian engineering team attempted to recover data from several Starfleet starships destroyed by the Myhr'an around the same time in the same year. During this time, chief engineer Ethan Arden called one flight recorder "a right little tart". (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part One", "Catalyst, Part Two")
- When Enterprise came upon an unknown small craft in 2152, Trip Tucker and Malcolm Reed attempted to locate various objects in it, including a black box, which they could not locate. (ENT: "Future Tense") A recorder marker was designed to relay the ships logs and other relevant information back to its command base. Recorder markers were launched in situations when a ship could not use its communications system to relay the information before the imminent destruction or capture of the ship. The recorder marker was built to withstand the complete destruction of the starship at close range, with a minimal possibility of external forces causing damage to the data held within. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" ; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; TNG: "Descent, Part II" ) Starships as well as other smaller craft also carried a data recorder also known as a flight recorder or a mission recorder, where the same data was stored. The recorder was built to withstand the destruction of the ship, so that it could be salvaged from the wreckage after the destruction of the craft. (ENT: "Babel One"; TNG: "The First Duty" )

(TOS episode & novelization: Balance of Terror) Captain John Bearclaw ordered the USS Gallant's communications officer to launch a log buoy after the ship was ambushed by four Klingon K't'inga-class battle cruisers near the Klingon Neutral Zone in 2285.
