Chengdu Guoxing Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. of China Completes the Offline Rollout of 5 Satellites in Group 03 of the "Star Compute" Plan

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 13, Chengdu Guoxing Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. of China completed the offline rollout of 5 space computing satellites in Group 03 of the "Star Compute" Plan at its computing power satellite base in Taizhou, Zhejiang. All 5 satellites rolled off the line this time were independently developed by the company and are scheduled to be launched on an appropriate date in the near future. After entering orbit, they will network collaboratively with the previously deployed Group 01 and Group 02 satellites, expanding the scale of in-orbit computing satellites under the "Star Compute" Plan.

The satellites rolled off the line this time belong to the space computing constellation independently built by Guoxing Aerospace. Unlike traditional communication satellites, which mainly undertake signal relay tasks, space computing satellites carry computing payloads and can perform data processing and artificial intelligence model computation in orbit, transmitting data through inter-satellite and satellite-ground communication links. By deploying some computing tasks to satellites, dependence on ground data transmission and centralized processing for remote sensing and other businesses can be reduced.

Group 01 of the "Star Compute" Plan was launched on May 14, 2025, consisting of 12 satellites and forming the first batch of in-orbit space computing constellations. On October 14, 2026, the 8 satellites of Group 02 entered the predetermined orbit aboard the Zhuque-2 improved Y4 carrier rocket, carrying high-performance computing payloads, high-speed inter-satellite and satellite-ground laser communication payloads, and low-light cameras, and will carry out technical verification of a ten-kilowatt-class liquid-cooled fluid loop, large-size deployable radiative cooling wings, a laser communication network, and in-orbit training of foundation models.

According to the long-term plan published by Guoxing Aerospace, the "Star Compute" Plan intends to build a space computing power network composed of 2,800 computing satellites, including 2,400 inference computing satellites and 400 training computing satellites. The company plans to complete thousand-satellite-scale networking and commercialization before 2030 and complete the deployment of the entire constellation before 2035. Through the coordination of in-orbit computing and inter-satellite communication, the satellites will provide computing power services for artificial intelligence model inference, remote sensing data processing, and intelligent terminals across land, sea, air, and space.

After the completion of the offline rollout of the 5 satellites in Group 03 this time, the next step will shift to launch preparation.
