Flying in Berlin’s sky, an Afternoon Investigation is a guided research into the people flying over Berlin. Every day, aircrafts criss-cross the airspace above the city: private jets, military planes, and the regular tourist flights. Where do they go? Who owns them? What are they doing? If you head to most websites tracking planes, you’ll only see the scheduled Lufthansa or Eurowings flights. Boring.

In this real-time investigation, we’ll first head outdoors to Tempelhofer Feld and setup our own antennas to detect all the things flying above us. Then, we’ll bring the data back to the “lab” at Supermarkt to analyse it, find some interesting planes and investigate them. You don’t know what we’ll find, and neither do we!

At the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to setup your own ADSB antenna to detect planes (which you can buy for under €50) and analyse the data you collect.
