The second black box from the Germanwings plane that crashed in the French Alps last week has been found after a nine-day search, prosecutors said.
Authorities are hoping to find more clues about the disaster after the first voice recorder suggested that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately flew the plane into a mountain.
The second black box records technical flight data that could provide insights into the final moments of Flight 4U 9525 before it crashed on 24 March, killing all 150 people on board.
The Marseille prosecutor in charge of the case, Brice Robin, declined to comment, but said he was was planning a news conference later today.
The first black box, found the same day as the crash, recorded conversations between Mr Lubitz and the pilot and showed that the 27-year-old German was alone at the time of the crash.
He apparently took advantage of the pilot's brief absence to lock him out and set the plane on a deadly descent into the Alps.
According to prosecutors, the voice recorder suggested that the passengers were unaware of what was going to happen to them until the very last seconds, when screams were heard.
Rescue workers have since been sifting through the wreckage for days trying to identify body parts and victims via their DNA.
The search for evidence has been hampered by the extremely difficult mountain terrain as well as the force of the crash.
Meanwhile, prosecutors said Mr Lubitz had searched online for information on suicide and cockpit doors.
The plane smashed into the mountains at a speed of 700km/h, killing all on board.
In a statement, prosecutors in Duesseldorf said the computer, which they had found in his home, also showed searches on cockpit doors and safety precautions related to them.
They said Mr Lubitz, had "looked for information on ways to commit suicide" in computer searches that took place between 16 and 23 March.
"On at least one day, the person had for several minutes undertaken searches related to cockpit doors and their safety precautions," it added.
