Satellite company provided data to FAA and NTSB 2 days ago
From CNN's Ellie Kaufman
The
company that provided the satellite data that informed the FAA's
decision to ground Boeing's Max 737 planes did so on Monday, according
to Jessie Hillenbrand, director of Public Relations at Aireon.
Transport Canada received it Tuesday evening.
Hillenbrand said Aireon provided the data, which shows Ethiopian plane's flight position data, to authorities who requested it. The company does not analyze the information, she said, they just provide it.
Hillenbrand said they don't have any information about the crash itself. But the data sent shows the flight's path as captured by satellites as it travels. She said the "aircraft transmits its position twice a second, our satellites catch it. We have caught that data in real time and provided that to authorities."

From CNN's Greg Wallace
Speaking
with reporters on a conference call, acting FAA Administrator Daniel
Elwell said the grounding of the 737 Max 8 and 9 will remain in effect
pending new information including from the flight data recorder and
voice recorder.
“Since this accident occurred we were resolute that we would not take action until we had data,” Elwell said.
“That data coalesced today.”
Elwell
said the new data was "added fidelity -- missing pieces that we did not
have prior to today." It aligned the Ethiopian flight data to the Lion
Air incident.
Elwell declined to guess how long the grounding would last but he said he hoped to keep it "as short as possible."
“I can’t and I don’t want to hazard a guess as to how long. My hope is that the FAA, the carriers, the manufacturer, that all parties will work very hard to make this grounding as short as possible so that these airplanes can get back up into the sky," he said.

FAA statement cites "new evidence" found at site of Ethiopian Airlines crash in ordering grounding
The
FAA tweeted that "new evidence collected at the site and analyzed
today" impacted the agency's decision to order a temporary grounding of
all Boeing 737 Max aircraft that are operated by US airlines or over US
skies.
In a second tweet the FAA said the order prohibiting the operation of Boeing's 737-8 and 737-9 MAX airplanes was effective immediately.

Boeing says it will tell the FAA to ground its 737 Max planes "out of an abundance of caution"
After
nearly every country in the world determined that Boeing's 737 Max
airplane should be kept on the ground, Boeing finally relented on
Wednesday afternoon and said, in a statement, that it would tell the FAA
to ground its entire fleet.
It cited no additional findings or data, rather said the plane should be suspended "out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft’s safety."
"We are supporting this proactive step out of an abundance of caution. Safety is a core value at Boeing for as long as we have been building airplanes; and it always will be," Dennis Muilenburg, president of Boeing, said.
Boeing, the company said, makes this recommendation and supports the decision by the FAA.
