China Activates First Orbital Supercomputer with AI-Powered Satellite Network
- China launched 12 satellites using a Long March-2D rocket from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on a Wednesday to start the Three-Body Computing Constellation.
- The launch follows Zhejiang Lab and partners’ goal to build a large-scale orbiting supercomputer network addressing inefficiencies in traditional satellite data processing.
- Each satellite runs an 8-billion parameter AI model with 744 tera operations per second and communicates via 100 Gbps laser links in a network planned for 2,800 satellites.
- The constellation provides 5 peta operations per second now, aims for 1,000 POPS, supports real-time in-orbit data processing, and enables experimental missions like astronomy observations.
- This project highlights China’s ambition to extend space-based computing power, with implications for energy efficiency and a new frontier for AI and cloud infrastructure.

China has recently sent 12 such satellites into space which will work like supercomputers equipped with Artificial Intelligence, i.e. AI. China has started a big plan through these 12 satellites, its aim is to create a huge network of total 2800 satellites, which has been named Three-Body Computing Constellation. Know the details.
Madrid. China launched a Long March-2D rocket, sending 12 satellites into orbit as the first batch of the “Computer constellation of the three bodies”, the nucleus for a supercomputer in orbit assisted by artificial intelligence (AI).
China launched a first group of satellites within a project aimed at expanding the orbit of a supercomputer constellation for artificial intelligence (AI), transmitted Live Science and Agerpres.
