Google Inc. is forced to look for ways to increase their customer base, but they have already started to balk at infrastructure constraints - access to the global network can boast, not all residents of our beautiful planet. Therefore, the company in the project Project Loon tries to form a network of balloons equipped with telecommunications equipment and solar panels that allow wireless access to cover the global information resources large areas.
Since the first experiments took more than a year, and now Google will report on progress at this stage successes. Experimental balls had flown 3 million Kilometers in total rounded planet 75 times. They are able to move into the upper atmosphere, catching the passing air flow, more than 100 days continuously. Some instances even increase the duration of the period up to 130 days. This is 10 times longer than the initial stage a year ago.
Google has learned enough to accurately predict the trajectory of movement of their balloons. For example, the deviation from the course at a distance of 9000 km is only 1.5 km away. This is important in terms of service of balls, because after landing they must quickly find and prepare for the next flight. In addition, the precise positioning allows better signal coverage area serviced on the ground. Has developed special equipment that allows to fill a bowl for five minutes. Google
can run up to 20 balls per day. At the same time the company is not going to stop, and continue to develop the project Loon.
