We Popped A Giant Internet Balloon!

[@AppliedScience]

Great video! You captured such interesting footage of Loon testing. The huge environmental test chamber is crazy.

[@natandfriends]

+Applied Science I'm in love with Moffett now. I saw yesterday from the road while we were driving, and it made me so happy. -Nat

Most people these days don't know that the first two communication satellites were metallic balloons. Called Echo 1 and 2 these 30 and 40m balloons orbited over 1000km high bouncing radio waves off their surfaces. They could be used by anyone who they was passing over. This included military and commercial users as well as amateur radio operators. For the 4 and 5 years they were in the sky they could also be regularly seen when they passed over at night brightly reflecting sunlight (just as the International Space Station does today).

I misread the title of this video as "We *Pooped A Giant Internet Balloon!", anyhow great video!

[@ernieschatz3783]

I think that was the hanger my old VP squadron was in back in the 80s and 90s. Moffett Field brings back memories. We lived in Mountain View. Good times!

If light rays are the problem then u could use a reflective surface on the balloon and for -80 degrees, use 5 balloons together to make one and on the main balloon put some kind of substance that keeps the heat unchanged like we use an aluminium foil for food.. sorry if im wrong just and idea I thought of and wanted to share :)

[@somranimariem]

Awww Project Loon Crazy idea!! like it

Wow guys thank u! the hall idea is insane and helpful.. and thank you for showing us the hard works of those who really want to help the world. I also loved this video and I'm thinking to make it as my next prevention on college.

[@sixaxer1]

Thank you guys for another fantastic video! My uni is in Canterbury, New Zealand, where the first Loon balloons were launched back in 2013!

[@natandfriends]

+Ivan Prigarin that's awesome! did you see it happen?

[@sixaxer1]

Nat and Lo Nope ): But thanks to you I just sort of did!

[@zainzaid2004]

did you experience ballon Internet? how's that?

[@sixaxer1]

No... I think a few farmers in remote country were given a chance to try it out, and they seemed happy.

[@jennynh16]

So the balloons don't stay hovering over a specific spot/area for that 100+ days, they're traveling all around the globe? Does that mean that the internet they're bringing isn't consistent in a location?

[@frankwang7650]

+jennynh16 It is like using your phone in a moving car. the different is that instead you are moving, the "signal towers"(aka our loon) are moving. So it will still provide consistent internet

[@antivanti]

Awww. Project Loon. Crazy idea. You missed a golden opportunity here. I'm going to give you one more chance to do what's right here! =D

[@TheCodeMonk]

At first, they thought it was crazy...you might say loon-y.

[@damodaraomalley7278]

the people without the internet are more happy without being able to log on to see how much terrible things are happening in the world now and how over crowded it is and how it is primarily driven by greed

You guys are SOOOOOOO great. Every Time I get a notification that you posted a video I stop what I'm doing and watch it. These videos are SO educational and a hope you reach 1 million Subscribers! Can you do a video about how life is working for Google I heard It is really fun. Also are you guys on instagram?

[@natandfriends]

+qwerty Sushi Thank you qwerty, that's really nice to hear. Working for Google is a lot of fun, I think the people you work with and get to meet make it the most fun. We're not on Instagram as "Nat & Lo," but @google is and sometimes you'll see us in its posts. -Nat

[@qwertysushi1785]

Before watching this video, I've heard the Project Loon. But I thought Balloon is just balloon which seems to be kid's trick. Never thinking about so many technical problems must be solved to have a stronger balloon. Impressive.

[@JulianG.]

How does the balloon connect to the Internet?

[@natandfriends]

+Julian G. there's more info on the loon site: www.google.com/loon. Here's a bit from the site below. Each balloon can provide connectivity to a ground area about 80 km in diameter using a wireless communications technology called LTE. To use LTE, Project Loon partners with telecommunications companies to share cellular spectrum so that people will be able to access the Internet everywhere directly from their phones and other LTE-enabled devices. Balloons relay wireless traffic from cell phones and other devices back to the global Internet using high-speed links.

[@Azzie_Sky]

[@andrewc7451]

[@PG24108]

Is that any chance of getting accident between Balloon and Aircraft....?.

[@leerainwater2845]

The balloons fly much higher than aircraft. Also, the balloons are equipped with transponders so that they show up on aircraft radar.

[@Max24871]

How is a phone able to communicate with this if it is at least 12km away?

[@isaacdian5195]

Balloons produce very strong wi fi signal.

[@Max24871]

But it has to be two-way, which means your phone needs to create an equally strong signal to send data.

[@isaacdian5195]

Balloon's wi fi hot spot is enough.

[@antivanti]

+BMicraft In rural areas where there are less buildings blocking the signal a cell tower can be that far away and still give decent reception. My parents place is almost exactly 12 km away from what used to be the closest 3G cell tower. It's mostly over water across a bay. A balloon in the stratosphere would have no obstructions at all so it would have even better signal strength. One of the limiting factors of digital cell tower range without obstructions is the travel time. Because a cell tower needs to be able to talk to many phones at the same time it gives a small window of time to communicate with each phone but this means it needs to know how far away the phone is because the speed of light (and thus also radio waves) isn't infinite and it needs to take the travel time into account when scheduling. The allowed delay has an upper bound and it is that which limits the upper range of a cell tower. If you increase the allowed delay and have no obstructions for the signal you can get much higher range. I hope this was helpful. TL;DR Obstructions and max allowed travel time for the signal are the main limiters for cell phone range.

[@antivanti]

This need to know the delay is btw also one of the main reasons you weren't allowed to use cellphones on planes (until the planes got their own cell towers). Planes travel so fast that the method cell towers use to calculate the delay gets confused. The other reason is that being so high up from the ground it is hard for the system to determine which cell tower is closest to your phone and also the speed means you need to switch cell towers very frequently.

[@Max24871]

Is this still Google[x] or is it Alphabet[x] now? Because that does not seem to be a part of the google core...

So how would the FAA feel about random tennis court sized balloons with an electronic payload dangling somewhere up in the stratosphere? It looks like the balloons have no way of altering their trajectory of they wander into an airport or basically any "No Fly Zone". ...But they'll make me have my .6 lbs hobby drone registered.

Why is using balloons more efficient then a ground station that connects to satellites?

[@MrLaitou]

It's cheaper to cover a wide area with a balloon instead of building dozen of infrastructures for cables. Also less maintenance.

[@lolindirlink]

+MrLaitou or better yet, maintenance at "home" and off they go around the globe again!

[@TheCho5enJuan]

+lolindirlink +MrLaitou Upgrading infrastructure would be much faster as well, could you imagine as soon as new technology is available it gets deployed..... not like our current ISP's....Google Fiber please come to my house
