5. Introduction
 Project Loon is a research and development project
being developed by Google with the mission of
providing Internet access to rural and remote areas
using balloons.
 The balloon is used to gather weather information such
as atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity and
wind speed.

6. What is project loon?
History
In 2008, Google had considered acquiring
Space Data Corp., a company that sends balloons
carrying small base stations about 20 miles (32 km)
up in the air for providing connectivity to truckers
and oil companies in the southern United States,
but didn't do so.[7]
Unofficial development on the project began in
2011 under incubation in Google X with a series of
trial runs in California's Central Valley. The project
was officially announced as a Google project on
14 June 2013.[3]

7. Continue…
 On 16 June 2013, Google conducted a pilot
experiment in New Zealand where about 30
balloons were launched in coordination
with the Civil Aviation Authority from
the Tekapo area in the South Island.
 About 50 local users in and
around Christchurch and the Canterbury
Region tested connections to the aerial
network using special antennas.[1]

8. Working principle of project Loon
 Each super-pressure balloon is massive with a whopping
15-meter diameter.
 It is made of very thin, very light polyethylene plastic
though, so it lifts up the sky easily.
 It is strong enough to lift the flight computer and other
electronics. All these are powered by a solar power
panel.

9. User Connectivity
 Users of the service connect to the balloon
network using a special Internet antenna
attached to their building.
 The signal travels through the balloon network
from balloon to balloon, then to a ground-based
station connected to an Internet service
provider (ISP).
 The system aims to improve communication
during natural disasters to affected regions.[4][5]

10. Technology Used
 The small box (payload) hangs below the
envelope, and looks very similar to the
basket in a hot air balloon.
 It holds electronic devices, such as circuit
boards, radio antennas, solar panels,
batteries, GPS, and devices to monitor
weather conditions.
 The circuit boards control the overall
balloon system and radio antennas are for
communications.

11. Equipment Used
A Google Project Loon
Balloon
Batteries
Solar panel used to
charge batteries in
balloon

12. Advantages
 Lower Cost to build
 Availability of Information
 Use of Renewable Energy
 Weather Surveillance

13. Disadvantages
 Hardware Failure & Maintenance
 Internet privacy & security
 Monopoly

14. Conclusion
 Project Loon is an ambitious project and the world will
highly benefit from it.
 Project Loon, an initiative to help fill in those internet gaps
through the use of networked balloons.
 The goal is to provide broadband-like internet for the
two-thirds of the world that doesn’t have access to a
reliable internet connection by balloon.
 It is still in experimental phase.
