IT information news on May 19, Google Project Loon balloon project, officially announced in June 2013, through to the stratosphere from a barrage of high altitude balloon carrying wireless communication equipment, build a balloon flying around the Earth to form an aerial wireless "Web", to provide wireless services for people in remote areas. Google I/O 2016 is currently held, media to have a closer look at such legendary Google tools used to connect the Earth.

In a corner of I/O 2016 venue, a giant balloon has been attracting attendees eyes, Yes, this is what Google balloon. As can be seen from the photos, Google balloon size is very large, at 65,000 feet (about 20,000 metres) altitude to stay, each balloon with 100 Watts of solar panels to charge the battery during the day, for night-time use. Google said that the balloon is made very difficult. First balloon floating in the sky exploded around 1 day. In order to figure out the root of the problem, Google balloon team to hire United States air force, the McKinley climatic laboratory to help expand testing.

Over in New Zealand, and Brazil and the United States after the deployment tests in places like California, at present, Google balloon already in signal coverage in all 50 States.

IT资讯讯 5月19日消息，谷歌气球Project Loon项目，自2013年6月正式对外公布以来，旨在通过向大气平流层发射大量搭载无线通讯设备的高空热气球，建设一个环绕地球飞行的气球带，组成一个空中的无线“大网”，来为偏远地区的人们提供无线网络服务。目前谷歌I/O 2016大会正在举行，媒体有幸近距离观看这传说中谷歌用于连接地球的工具。

在I/O 2016会场一角，一只体型巨大的气球一直吸引着参会者的目光，没错，这就是谷歌气球。从照片中就可以看出，谷歌气球体积硕大，可以在6.5万英尺(约合2万米)的高空停留，每个气球配有100瓦的太阳能面板，可以在白天给电池充电，以供夜间使用。谷歌表示，制作这些气球非常困难。第一批气球在天上飘浮了1天左右便爆炸了。为了搞清楚问题的根源，谷歌气球团队聘请美国空军麦金利气候实验室帮助其展开测试。

经过在新西兰、巴西、美国加州等地的部署测试后，目前，谷歌气球已经在全美50个州里展开信号覆盖测试。
