Abstract

Example methods and systems for assigning tasks to balloons within a balloon network are described. One example system includes a first sub-fleet of balloons assigned a first set of one or more tasks within a balloon network, a second sub-fleet of balloons assigned a second set of one or more tasks within the balloon network, and a control system configured to determine that a first balloon in the first sub-fleet of balloons initially has a predicted failure mode that corresponds to the first set of tasks, subsequently determine that the first balloon has a predicted failure mode that corresponds to the second set of tasks, and reassign the first balloon from the first sub-fleet of balloons to the second sub-fleet of balloons.

Description

Background technique [0001] Unless otherwise indicated herein, the materials described in this section are not prior art to the claims in this application and are not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section. [0002] Computing devices, such as personal computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, cellular telephones, and countless types of Internet-enabled devices, are increasingly ubiquitous in many aspects of modern life. As such, there is an increasing demand for data connections via the Internet, cellular data networks, and other such networks. However, there are many areas of the world where data connections are still not available, or where data connections are available, are unreliable and / or expensive. Therefore, additional network infrastructure is expected. Contents of the invention [0003] Example methods and systems are described for tasking balloons within a network of balloons. An example system may include a first sub-fleet of balloons assi...
