From ground to orbit: China eyes computing in space

  Over the past year, the company has completed multiple important technical validations and breakthroughs in a row.

  Collaborating with Shanghai Jiao Tong University in east China, ADAspace recently completed the world"s first instance of using space-based computing power to control a ground robot.

  "This technological validation means that in the future, when ground networks are unavailable, we can directly call upon space-based computing power via satellites to command intelligent agents like humanoid robots, quadruped robot dogs, autonomous vehicles and drones, enabling operations without blind spots," Zhao said.

  In November last year, a team of the company successfully deployed Alibaba"s Qwen3 large language model to the first cluster of the "star compute" satellites, completing the world"s first in-orbit deployment of a general-purpose large model, with the end-to-end inference process taking less than two minutes.

  Furthermore, on March 26 this year, ADAspace, in collaboration with the small and medium-sized enterprises development promotion center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, launched the world"s first space-based computing power cloud service platform for enterprises, named Prometheus. This marks the transition of the space-based computing industry from technological breakthrough to productization.

  The construction of space-based computing power infrastructure is profoundly significant, as it will fundamentally alter the global supply pattern of computing power. Currently, global AI development faces a computing power bottleneck, especially in edge computing and real-time inference scenarios, where ground-based computing power falls short, Zhao said.
