- 4. What is Project Loon Project Loon is a research and development project bring developed by Google Project loon Is a network of balloon Travelling on edge of space, Designed to connect with the people In Rural and Remote areas. Designed by- Mohit Malviya 4
- 5. History • In 2001, Space Data Inc. , suggested an idea to widen the cellular coverage for the rural areas in the united states. The idea was to have wireless transceivers carried a lot on weather balloons, launched by National Weather Service (NSW). • For the past 60 years, the NSW is launching 70 balloons twice a day across the country to collect the weather information. The weather balloons are in fact floating above specific areas for about 24 hours at about 30 km. • “The balloon can be a mini and cheaper cell tower in the sky”. Designed by- Mohit Malviya 5
- 6. • One balloon with a weight of 1.5 kg, a size of 7.6 m (25ft) when fully inflated, can cover a 670 km diameter coverage circle below. • It currently covers only Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana. • In 2008, Google contracted with space Data Corporation. • In 2011, Google began unofficially developing the project under Google X labs • In 2013, Google announced the project officially and later they launched the first 30 ballons in New Zealand. • In 2015, Google signed agreements with Sri Lanka becomes the second covered with LTE internet Vatican City.

- 8. How Loon Moves • Project Loon balloons travels around 20km above the earth’s surface in the stratosphere. • Winds in the stratosphere are generally steady and slow-moving at between 5 and 20 mph, and each layer of wind varies in direction and magnitude. • The set-up uses software algorithms to determine where its balloons need to go, then moves each one into a layer of wind blowing in the right direction.

- 11. Envelope • Project Loon’s balloon envelopes are made from sheets of polyethylene plastic Diameter: 49 ft, height: 39 ft and stand fifteen meters wide by twelve meters tall when fully inflated. • Resistant to UV rays and stable in temperature like – 58F • Maximum lifetime of 100 days • Can be recycled and re-launched easily Designed by- Mohit Malviya 11
- 12. Solar Panels Designed by- Mohit Malviya 12
- 13. Solar Panels • In sunlight these panels can produce 100w of power • Used to run the whole ballon system in the sky in day and night • Rechargeable batteries are used, which are charged with the help of solar panels Designed by- Mohit Malviya 13
- 14. PAYLOAD Designed by- Mohit Malviya 14
- 15. Payload • The payload is a small box that holds electronic devices, such as circuit boards, radio antennas, batteries, GPS, flight sensors, and devices to monitor weather conditions. • The circuit board: control the overall balloon system. • Radio antennas: communicate with other balloons and with internet antennas on ground. • Batteries: store solar power so the balloon can operate in night.

- 16. User Connectivity Designed by- Mohit Malviya 16
- 17. User Connectivity • USERS OF THE SERVICE TO THE BALLOON NETWORK USING A SPECIAL Internet antenna attached to their building. • The signal travels through the balloon network from ballon to ballon, then to a ground-based station connected to an internet service provider (ISP) • The system aims to improve communication during natural disaster to affected regions.

- 19. Advantages • Lower Cost • Availability of Information • Education • Health and Medicine • Use of Renewable Energy • Weather Surveillance • collaboration Designed by- Mohit Malviya 19
- 20. Disadvantages • Hardware Failure • Internet privacy • Not a replacement of satellite communication. • International politics Designed by- Mohit Malviya 20

- 22. Conclusion • Internet connectivity and communication become one of the basic needs in modern human daily life . • An innovative and scalable idea like the Google project Loon would aid and benefit remote areas of the world as well as population to reap the benefits of modern communication • It would also provide backbone communications during and after natural disaster when ground infrastructure is scarce or destroyed.
