近距离看谷歌气球：体积硕大 - 谷歌气球 - IT资讯

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。
