Use a Crowdsourced Satellite Platform To Look For The Missing Malaysia Air Plane

Ever since Malaysia Air MH370 went missing, presumed crashed, everyone has been looking for the wreckage, in an effort to find out what happened. The trouble though is that the search area involved is vast, and combing the area will take a lot of time and a lot of manpower. Enter the power of crowdsourcing to help. http://www.digitalglobeblog.com/
If you would like to volunteer your time to support the rescue mission, please visit DigitalGlobe’s Tomnod platform (click) to begin combing through satellite imagery for clues that may help locate the missing aircraft.

Connections are slow but very interesting.

  1. Hi Elaine,
    Ok, best to donate your excess computer cycles to SETI, because the probability of finding the aircraft by this satellite program is flat zero.

    IF the plane is in the ocean, it will be found by the SOSUS TDOA data, subject to Bayesian analysis. Research the sinking of the submarine Scorpion to see the power of this process.

    Don't expect the Navy to say much about this.
