China Launches Space Computing Network, Marking Web3's Ascent into Orbit
Georgia Launches Groundbreaking Space Computing Constellation
In a significant leap for space technology, Guoxing Aerospace successfully deployed 12 satellites under the Space Computing Constellation 021 mission on May 14, 2025. This mission marked the first successful implementation of a dedicated space computing constellation globally.
The 12 satellites, named after various locations and entities, form part of the 'Trisolaris Computing Constellation' project initiated by Zhijiang Laboratory. The lineup includes Neijiang (Star Era-27), Neijiang Gaoxin (Star Era-28), Taizhou (Star Era-29), Haikou (Star Era-30), Ma'anshan Intelligent Computing-1 (Star Era-31), Chongzhou (Star Era-32), Tiantie Technology (Star Era-33), Yukunzhe (Star Era-35), Great Zero Bay (Star Era-36), Zhijiang-1 (Star Era-37), Zhijiang-2 (Star Era-38), and an intriguing addition - one satellite named after the NFT Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) #7573.
The constellation is designed to function as a decentralized computing system, capable of high-speed data transfers and facilitating distributed computing and inter-satellite collaboration through advanced networking. The satellites communicate with each other using laser-based technology, enabling real-time applications by processing data collected in space within the constellation itself.
The project's core objective is to transition certain computing workloads from ground-based systems to orbital infrastructure. The coordinated function of multiple satellites could scale computing power to petaflop-level performance. The satellites reached their intended orbits without incident, thanks to their deployment via a Long March 2D rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
The convergence of digital communities and cutting-edge technological innovation, particularly in areas like the space economy and decentralized computing, is becoming more evident. The launch served as the debut mission for Guoxing Aerospace's 'StarCompute' program, and the inclusion of BAYC #7573 as a satellite's namesake is seen as a cultural milestone, reflecting the NFT's association with AI initiatives.
The constellation will demonstrate capabilities such as distributed artificial intelligence, decentralized cloud infrastructure, and blockchain operations in space. The aim is to underpin the foundational capabilities of the other three categories of space technology, positioning the new class of 'computing satellites' as a fourth category.
While the organization that initiated the 'Trisolaris Computing Constellation' project is not identified in the provided search results, the launch marks a significant step forward in the realm of space technology and decentralized computing. The role of BAYC #7573 in this project symbolizes the growing relevance of Web3 technologies in advanced scientific research.
