The Malaysian government has released raw satellite data for transparency following outbursts from relatives of some the passengers aboard the catastrophic MH370 flight with independent experts devaluating the information discharged.
The government floated 45 pages of raw satellite information that was used to determine the missing aircraft crashed into the ocean. However, autonomous experts have devalued the report and regarded the technical information as unsubstantial.
Michael Exner, a satellite engineer said that a lot of information was not imperative as just a few pages contained substantial matter and the rest was just 'noise', and it doesn't contribute any added value to their understanding.
He further added that his initial impression of the data was that the communication logs didn't include key assumptions, algorithms and metadata needed to authenticate the investigation team's conclusions that the plane flew south after dropping off radar screens 90 minutes into the flight after it was spotted on the Malaysian military radar, before heading to the Southern Indian Ocean off western Australia.
According to the New York Post, the technical data consisted of data communication logs from the satellite system operated by the UK's Inmarsat Company. The plane sent hourly transmissions to a satellite and the signals were never meant to track an aircraft's path, but investigators had nothing else to go on because the plane's other communication systems had been disabled.
Reports revealed that several family members have been highly critical of the Malaysian government's response, accusing them of failing to release timely information or even concealing it. The government, which in the early days did release contradictory information about the plane's movements, insisted that it is being transparent in what has been an unprecedented situation.
