Missing MH370: Satellites hunt for clues as mystery deepens


WASHINGTON/LONDON: An unprecedented international effort is under way from space to track missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 as satellite operators, government agencies and rival nations sweep their gaze across two oceans in search of elusive debris or data.

Six days after the Boeing 777 went missing with 239 people on board, the search has widened to the Andaman Sea, northwest of the Peninsular Malaysia, with only one precious clue – an ephemeral “ping” detected five or six times after the plane lost contact – picked up in orbit.
