The raw data which is from British satellite firm Inmarsat were used to trace the path of the missing flight.
Although explanation was given with the data logs, expert help is needed to decipher the logs.
The release of the data followed calls from missing passengers’ relatives for more transparency in the probe into the aircraft’s mysterious disappearance.
The communication logs consists of data from “handshakes” between the aircraft and the satellite, said Inmarsat.
DCA has released 47 pages of raw satellite data used to conclude that the missing Malaysia Airlines jet crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.
That Inmarsat data consists of a few electronic pings between the plane and the British company’s satellite network. It was analyzed and used as the basis for focusing the recovery search — so far without success — on a remote section of the southern Indian Ocean west of Australia.
The release comes a week after Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said that he had instructed the DCA to hold talks with Inmarsat on the matter (to release the data logs).
“As a result, the data communication logs from Inmarsat as well as the relevant explanation to enable the reader to understand the data provided is being released,” said a DCA statement.
Flight MH370 went missing less than an hour on its journey from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8. It was carrying 239 passengers and crew.
Search efforts are still ongoing. Search efforts so far has found nothing concrete related to the missing jetliner.
