Project Loon is a Google X initiative that aims to provide internet access to rural and remote areas using high-altitude balloons. Balloons equipped with communications equipment float in the stratosphere and work together to form an aerial wireless network. People on the ground can access this network using a special antenna. The balloons are steered using wind patterns and solar panels to remain powered. While still experimental, Project Loon seeks to expand internet access using renewable energy-powered balloons that bounce signals between each other and to the global internet.
