The Beijing Astro-future Institute of Space Technology is spearheading an innovative project to launch high-computing-power experimental satellites by late 2025 or early 2026. This initiative aims to address the escalating global demand for computing power, exacerbated by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and the limitations of traditional data centers. Zhang Shancong, the institute’s director and chief scientist at Beijing Orbit Twilight Technology Co., highlighted the challenges faced by terrestrial data centers, including excessive land use, skyrocketing energy consumption, and environmental cooling constraints. Space-based solutions, leveraging the abundant solar energy and the stable minus 270°C cosmic environment, offer a promising alternative. These satellites will enable continuous solar power generation and highly efficient passive radiation cooling, potentially revolutionizing the way computational needs are met in the future. This groundbreaking approach underscores China’s commitment to technological innovation and sustainable development.
