It seems that the beacon is not necessary. They already have radio localization. The problem is confirmation from imagery.

> Radio ranging data tied its location down to an area spanning a few tens of metres, but a number of potential candidate objects identified in relatively low-resolution images taken from larger distances could not be analysed in detail until recently.

Ah hah... good spotting. Using radio to locate down to 10's of meters is a heck of an achievement. Makes me wonder how many other amazing things are hidden under the surface of this effort that are similarly amazing but don't see the light of day.
