Super Computing No.1 Satellite Enters Orbit, Becoming First Node of Space Computing Network

On September 20, 2026, the "Super Computing No.1" computing satellite, developed by Super Computing (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., was successfully launched aboard the Lijian-1 Yao-18 carrier rocket, also named "Super Computing", and entered its intended orbit. The mission marks the company's first integrated satellite-rocket project carrying AI computing capabilities throughout, and is considered China's first commercial launch combining exclusive rocket naming with full-stack AI computing payload integration.

The satellite's main payloads include a high-resolution optical payload and an AI computing payload, enabling optical remote sensing imaging, on-orbit data processing, and target recognition. It is designed to perform on-orbit intelligent processing, transmitting only high-value results back to Earth and reducing data response time from hours to minutes. The satellite now serves as the first in-orbit core node of Super Computing's distributed space computing network.

Super Computing has also led the establishment of a space computing industry alliance, working with rocket maker Zhongke Aerospace and satellite manufacturer Xuntian Qianhe to build a collaborative platform for technology sharing and scenario exploration. The company plans to expand its satellite constellation and gradually build an integrated space-ground intelligent computing network.
