CHINA LAUNCHES WORLD'S FIRST IN-ORBIT AI COMMERCIAL HYPERSATELLITE

Published:2024-02-18

China's Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center launched the world's first in-orbit artificial intelligence (AI) commercial hypersatellite on February 3, 2024 from waters off the coast of Yangjiang City in south China's Guangdong Province.

 

A Smart Dragon-3 (SD-3) carrier rocket blasted off at 11:06 a.m. (Beijing Time) from the launch site, sending a group of nine satellites, including the AI commercial hypersatellite and a distant retrograde orbit (DRO) satellite, into planned orbit.

 

The AI satellite is designed to carry out on-orbit verification of the synaesthesia fusion AI algorithm once entering the orbit, and will have remote integrated platform capability for future communication networks.
