I recently got the device Nooelec NESDR that can receive Sensor Data Records (SDR)/radio signals. I was able to connect it to my Mac and installed the basic setup for SDR to run on my device. I enabled it to run on python and started installing the dump1090 software to detect flights in the nearby area based on the waves emitted. It was incredibly fascinating to see the different flights detected in the area near my house and to see their altitude, speed, Lat and Lon. The image below represents the table that it popped up in. The table was constantly printing, revealing updates and changes in the flight’s altitude as well as the speed and location that it was at. One of my next targets is to actually see whether I can take these latitude and longitude coordinates and be able to plot them on a base map that represents the location of the flights as well as in which direction they are going as they travel.
