Project Loon
More and More about the Internet!
What is Project Loon?
If you want to actually see a balloon, you'll have to use a telescope.
How Does Loon Move?
How Does Loon Connect?
The balloons are completely solar-powered and are controlled through Loon Mission Control. Before the balloon is sent up, the Loon Staff talk to the Air Traffic Control (to let them know these balloons are not any.
Where Loon is Going?
"Project Loon began with a pilot test in June 2013, when thirty balloons were launched from New Zealand's South Island and beamed Internet to a small group of pilot testers. The pilot test has since expanded to include a greater number of people over a wider area. Looking ahead, Project Loon will continue to expand the pilot, with the goal of establishing a ring of uninterrupted connectivity at latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, so that pilot testers in these latitudes can receive continuous service via balloon-powered Internet."
