Objects Seen by Chinese Satellite Not Wreckage from Missing Malaysian Jetliner
Three objects spotted floating in the waters northeast of Kuala Lumpur
by a Chinese satellite were not parts of the missing Malaysian Airlines
flight that disappeared Friday (March 7), according to press reports.
Crews searching for Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 didn't find any wreckage in the area imaged by the Chinese satellite, the BBC reports. The satellite images of the South China Sea, taken on March 9, surfaced on Wednesday (March 12).

NASA officials are using data collected by NASA satellites to hunt for the missing jetliner
as well. The space agency is looking into archived satellite
information that might help them find signs of the missing plane. NASA
is currently using space-based instruments like the Earth-Observing-1
satellite and ISERV camera on the International Space Station to get new
images of possible crash sites, NASA spokesman Allard Beutel told
Space.com via email Wednesday.
