PERTH, Australia, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Up to 14 aircraft and 11 ships will assist in Wednesday's search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, while the autonomous1 underwater vehicle (AUV) Bluefin 21 was again deployed2 Tuesday night from Ocean Shield for underwater searching, the Joint3 Agency Coordination4 Center (JACC) confirmed on Wednesday.
"The data from Bluefin-21's first mission has been downloaded and
analyzed5. No objects of interest were found," the JACC said.
As the search operation for missing Malaysian Airline flight MH370 entered the stage of underwater search, the autonomous underwater vehicle, Bluefin 21, undertook its first mission from Monday evening to early Tuesday morning.
Search for MH370 resumes with redeployment of the AUV: JACC
However, an unexpected encounter with water deeper than 4,500 meter, the limit of Bluefin's diving
capability6, had forced the first operation to end

The Bluefin
initially8 has an operating cycle of 24 hours, with two hours going down, 16 hours of searching underwater, two hours coming up to the surface and four hours for data downloading, analysis and re-programming.
In addition, 11 military aircraft, three civil aircraft and 11 ships will assist in Wednesday's search. And the Australian
