Important milestones in computing technology and space have been achieved because China has officially started the development of what is expected to be the first supercomputer in space.
Media and official sources of China claimed that this project was a component of a greater encouragement in China to lead in artificial intelligence and space -based infrastructure.
Space-based supercomputers, which are sent in modules on cargo flights to space stations, are intended to process large amounts of data in the orbit-eliminating the need to transfer large data collections back to earth.
Research in space science, earth observation, climate modeling, and satellite data analysis The time-time can all be highly accelerated by this discovery.

This first spacecraft, which together provides five map operations per second, is a component of a 2,800-satellite network aimed at reaching 1,000 computational pops.
The purpose of this completed computing network is to use solar power and space -based heat radiation to overcome the restrictions on terrestrial data transmission and lower energy consumption.
According to the South China Morning Post, having a supercomputer in space has an advantage outside only accelerating communication. Because of factors such as limited bandwidth and the availability of land stations, outlets report that typical satellite transmission is delayed and that “less than 10%” satellite data reaches the earth.
In addition, “the orbital data center can use solar power and emit its heat to space, reduce the energy needs and traces of carbon,” Harvard University’s astronomer and space historian Jonathan McDowell told the source. According to him, similar research can be conducted in the future by the US and Europe, according to SCMP.
