Malaysia, Inmarsat to release satellite data used in MH370 search
[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysia's aviation authority and British company Inmarsat said yesterday that they would release satellite data used to narrow the search for missing flight MH370 down to the southern Indian Ocean.
Family members of the 239 people on board the Malaysia Airlines plane, which vanished on March 8, had demanded that raw satellite data be made public for independent analysis after an initial undersea search found no wreckage.
"All parties are working for the release of the data communication logs and the technical description of the analysis for public consumption," Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation and Inmarsat said in a joint statement.
