A Thai satellite has detected floating objects about 2,700 kilometers from Perth, Australia, Thailand's space agency said on Thursday, as a team of Malaysian civilian and military officials head for Perth to assist with the search operation.
The Thaichote, or Thailand Earth Observation Satellite, acquired the imagery of objects spread over 450 square km in the Indian Ocean on Monday morning, said a statement from the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency of the Thai Ministry of Science and Technology.
