Launch of world's first satellite computing constellation gives China big head start in orbital data processing, despite major hurdles ahead, experts say. — SCMP
China’s launch last week of a cluster of 12 satellites that will form the foundation of the world’s first orbital computing constellation signalled the country’s ambition to dominate space-based computational power.
The constellation, a collaboration between aerospace innovators like Guoxing Aerospace and AI specialists at Zhejiang Lab is designed to process data in orbit rather than rely on land infrastructure.
