Other two posters are correct but I'll make it a little more clear. The ship went through the portal leading from the Ark to Earth right as the portal collapsed, and when it collapsed the ship was only half way through. Arbiter was in the pilot area so he made it through, but Chief and Cortana were in the hangar in the back so they didn't make it through. In the back half of the ship (the part that didn't make it through the portal), Cortana drops a beacon, but since everyone thinks they are dead, no one will be searching for them, so it could be a long time before they are found. You can see something interesting happen (after the scene of Cortana putting out a beacon) if you play the last level on Legendary, I won't spoil it in case you haven't played it on Legendary yet.
