Guoxing Aerospace launched 12 satellites in one rocket! The Space Computing Constellation 021 mission was a complete success!
On 2025 May 14, at 12:12 Beijing time, Guoxing Aerospace successfully launched 12 satellites for the Space Computing Constellation 021 mission using the Long March 2D carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The satellites entered their predetermined orbit, marking the successful launch of the world's first space computing constellation.

The successful completion of the initial constellation launch mission will usher in a new era of "space computing" globally.

From 0 to 1, the world's first space computing constellation was successfully launched.

The Space Computing Constellation 021 mission is the first launch of Guoxing Aerospace's "XingSuan" plan and also the first launch of the Zhejiang Laboratory's "Three-Body Computing Constellation". This initial constellation is a joint construction of Guoxing Aerospace, Zhejiang Laboratory, and Neijiang High-Tech Zone, and consists of 12 computing satellites developed by Guoxing Aerospace, including:

  • Neijiang (XingShiDai-27)
  • Neijiang High-Tech (XingShiDai-28)
  • Taizhou (XingShiDai-29)
  • Haikou (XingShiDai-30)
  • Ma'anshan ZhiSuan 1 (XingShiDai-31)
  • Chongzhou (XingShiDai-32)
  • TianTie Technology (XingShiDai-33)
  • Miyanyuwuchangyuan (XingShiDai-34)
  • YuKongZhe (XingShiDai-35)
  • "DaLingHaoBay" Star (XingShiDai-36)
  • Zhejiang 1 (XingShiDai-37)
  • Zhejiang 2 (XingShiDai-38)

Guoxing Aerospace's "XingSuan" plan has launched its first constellation of 12 satellites in one orbit.

The mission code "021" refers to the transition from 0 to 1, symbolizing the breakthrough of achieving the world's first space computing constellation.

"Artificial intelligence should not be absent from space due to a lack of computing power," said Wang Jian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of Zhejiang Laboratory. The construction of the space computing constellation will enable a single satellite to play a greater value, which has far-reaching significance for the transformation of the aerospace industry.
