China's news agency reported yesterday that a Chinese satellite may have spotted the wreckage of the missing Malaysian airliner. Subsequent investigation, however, showed that not to be the case.
The part of the world involved in the search is largely ocean, so finding the plane is proving difficult. Satellites could be helpful-- they've picked up no explosions in the air, for example-- but that area isn't as thoroughly covered by satellites as other areas. The role of satellites in this search may be to put upper limits on the possible.
