In 2369, in an effort to locate a missing shuttlecraft, Starbase 172's sensors were tied in with those of the USS Enterprise-D's the planetary sensor array on Wyath to form a triangulation pattern to detect unique materials known to be on the shuttle, allowing the vessel to be found. (TNG comic: "Light of the Day")
