China launches space computing satellite constellation

中国发射太空计算卫星星座

China launched a Long March-2D rocket on Wednesday, sending 12 satellites into orbit as the first batch of the "Three-Body Computing Constellation." The mission, led by Zhejiang Lab, marks a major step in China's space-based computing, aiming to build a network of thousands of satellites with a total computing power of 1,000 peta operations per second (POPS). The constellation will enable real-time in-orbit data processing to boost AI development in space.

周三，中国用长征二号丁运载火箭将12颗卫星送入轨道，作为“三体计算星座”的首批卫星。该任务由浙江实验室主导，标志着中国天基计算领域的重大进展，目标是构建由数千颗卫星组成的网络，总计算能力达每秒1000千万亿次运算（POPS）。该星座将实现轨道实时数据处理，推动太空人工智能发展。

Big news! China has just launched the first 12 of a whop 2,800 satellites as part of its ambitious AI space computing constellation

特大新闻！中国刚刚发射了雄心勃勃的人工智能空间计算星座的首批12颗卫星，该星座最终将包含2800颗卫星！

This isn't just a space race; it's a leap into the future of technology! With these satellites, China aims to enhance AI capabilities and make significant strides in data processing and connectivity

Imagine a network that can power everything from smart cities to advanced scientific research, all from space! It's a stellar move that showcases China's commitment to leading in tech innovation

The constellation can meet the growing demand for real-time computing in space, as well as help China take the lead globally in building space computing infrastructure

这不仅是一场太空竞赛，更是向未来科技的跃升！借助这些卫星，中国旨在增强人工智能能力，并在数据处理和通信领域迈出重大步伐。

想象一个能从太空为智慧城市、前沿科学研究等一切提供动力的网络！这一壮举彰显了中国引领科技创新的决心。

该星座可满足太空实时计算的日益增长需求，助力中国在全球率先构建空间计算基础设施。

Commercial company ADA Space released further details, stating that the 12 satellites form the “Three-Body Computing Constellation,” which will directly process data in space, rather than on the ground, reducing reliance on ground-based computing infrastructure. The constellation will be capable of a combined 5 peta operations per second (POPS) with 30 terabytes of onboard storage.

The satellites feature advanced AI capabilities, up to 100 Gbps laser inter-satellite links and remote sensing payloads—data from which will be processed onboard, reducing data transmission requirements.

The development marks the begng of space-based cloud computing as a new capability, as well as open a new arena for strategic competition with the U.S. The ability to reduce bottlenecks for data from space and other capabilities will have economic, scientific and military implications. While the U.S. and Europe have tested edge computing in space, China’s collaborative effort are the first to deploy a purpose-built AI constellation at scale

商业公司ADA Space披露更多细节称，这12颗卫星组成的“三体计算星座”将直接在太空处理数据，而非依赖地面设施，从而减少对地面计算基础设施的依赖。星座整体计算能力达每秒5千万亿次运算（POPS），配备30TB星载存储。

卫星具备先进人工智能功能、高达100 Gbps的激光星间链路和遥感载荷——数据将在星上直接处理，降低数据传输需求。

这一进展标志着天基云计算成为新能力的开端，也为中美战略竞争开辟了新战场。其减少太空数据传输瓶颈等能力，将产生经济、科学和军事影响。尽管美欧已测试太空边缘计算，但中国此次协同部署的专用人工智能星座尚属全球首次大规模应用。

以下是各国网友的评论：

One was to fix the cooling problem, wonder if these are solar or nuclear powered?

有一个问题是解决散热，不知道这些卫星是太阳能还是核能供电？

On the 12th, China's space computing satellite constellation "Three-body Computing Constellation" was successfully launched! From now on, China has a supercomputer composed of multiple satellites in space! 12 satellites were launched this time, and more than 100 satellites will be networked by 2027. The space computer can reach 100 billion times/s! The rocker satellite transmits to space supercomputing platform at a speed of 100G bits per second, greatly reducing the docking speed of the rocker and the supercomputer.

12日，中国空间计算卫星星座“三体计算星座”成功发射！从此中国在太空拥有了由多颗卫星组成的超级计算机！此次发射12颗卫星，2027年将实现百余颗卫星组网。太空计算机运算速度可达每秒1000亿次！火箭卫星以每秒100G比特的速度向太空超级计算平台传输数据，大幅缩短火箭与超级计算机的对接时间

If the recent proved anything, it’s that superior “eyes” and “ears” beats superior “muscle.”
New “muscle” gets most media attention, but new “eyes” and “ears” (like Beidou expansion, quantum radars, electromagnetic interference techniques) are arguably more impactful.

如果说最近的事件证明了什么，那就是 超级“眼睛”和“耳朵”胜过 超级“肌肉”。新“肌肉”吸引了媒体大部分关注，但新“眼睛”和“耳朵”（如北斗扩容、量子雷达、电磁干扰技术）或许更具影响力

China has to Invest more in Arabia and middle eastern Countries & form Big alliances.
Star link got Arabia now, other Ai companies Got Arabia.
It is being used now to try and Isolate China

中国务必加大对阿拉伯和中东国家的投资，结成大型联盟。星链现在进入了阿拉伯，其他人工智能公司也进入了阿拉伯。他们试图孤立中国
