- The first-phase plan includes 1,000 satellites for AI or supercomputing within a total of 2,600.
An open-source space initiative
Beijing Kaiyun United and partners introduced the OpenSpace ecosystem and open-source community at the Kaiyun Aerospace AOE conference on October 17, STAR Market Daily reported. Participants included Orienspace, GalaxySpace, Beihang University and the China Space Foundation. The group also presented a computing constellation plan intended to turn satellites into servers operating in orbit.
A proposed mix of computing capacity
The first phase envisages 2,600 satellites: 1,000 for general computing, 1,000 for AI or supercomputing, 500 for edge computing and 100 for quantum computing. The proposal brings several kinds of processing into one space infrastructure program, with AI computing among its main categories. These figures describe the announced deployment plan; the report does not give a launch timetable or confirm deployed capacity.
