星算计划是由我国商业航天公司联合国内100余所高校、科研院所共同建设的全球首个太空计算星座,旨在构建空间算力网络。01组首发星座已于去年5月成功发射,实现了通用大模型的在轨部署和全球首次OpenClaw太空算力调用。
想象这样一个场景,未来,一台机器人正在荒漠执行勘探任务,周围没有基站,它自身也背不动庞大的算力主机。当遇到突发情况,需要进行复杂决策时,它该如何“思考”?
答案是:向上看。在距离地面几百公里的太空,一张算力网络正在响应它的需求。
这听起来像是科幻电影里的情节,但随着太空算力的构建,这种“天数天算、天地协同”的未来,正在走进现实。
10月14日,由我国商业航天公司联合国内100余所高校、科研院所等共同建设的全球首个太空计算星座——“星算”计划的02组算力卫星,成功发射升空并完成了首次组网。这标志着我国太空算力基础设施,从“单点验证”的试水期,迈入“规模化部署”的新阶段。随着这8颗卫星的加入,整个“星算”星座的在轨总算力达到了50P,相当于每秒可以在太空中做5亿亿次运算。
而为了实现灵活的算力调用,这8颗卫星还被设计成了“云边协同”分布式结构,既有高算力的中心节点卫星,也有主打边缘计算的小型算力卫星,既可以分别处理任务,也可以在需要时调用中心节点的计算资源,协同完成更复杂的计算,将算力利用效率发挥到极致。
不过,这8颗卫星也只是一个宏大工程的开篇,按照规划,“星算”计划最终要建成一张由2800颗计算卫星编织而成的太空计算网络,覆盖全球的陆海空天。
而为了把这上千颗卫星以低成本、规模化的方式送上天,研制团队在地面打造了一套“像造汽车一样造卫星”的工业化体系。他们引入AI辅助设计和3D增材制造技术,配合改造后的工业级器件,让原本动辄按年计的卫星研制周期,实现了数量级压缩。
去年5月,“星算”计划01组首发星座就成功完成了通用大模型的在轨部署,跑通了全球首次OpenClaw太空算力调用、并且跨越天地完成了地面机器人操控。
未来我们头顶这片浩瀚星河,或许也将成为“硅基智能”服务人类的新基座。

Japanese scientists are preparing the uncrewed MMX probe mission to Mars's moons to retrieve samples, aiming for the first round trip to the Martian region and launching from Tanegashima Space Center.

A young scientific research team from the National Key Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing of Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology has developed a spaceborne SAR multi-domain affine scale transformation imaging theory for the Land Exploration IV-01 high-orbit SAR satellite to solve the problem of satellite imaging deformation and provide technical support for disaster emergency and land and resources survey.

Ninety years ago, the Red Army's Long March passed through the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. Ninety years later, Lenghu Town in the Qaidam Basin ushered in new development. From the rise and fall of the oil industry to the launch of the construction of an astronomical observation base in 2018, it now gathers 13 national-level scientific research units and 47 telescopes, driving the development of the cultural tourism industry. It receives more than 1.6 million tourists annually. It has become a science fiction film and television shooting location and a youth science education base, reflecting the continuation of the Long March spirit in the new era.

Taiwan's self-made optical telemetry satellite "Formosa Satellite 8", the first Zeppelin satellite, showed clear resolution after launch. The National Space Center held a special screening of the "Watching Eye" documentary on the 15th, presenting Taiwan's space scientific research history and breakthrough of 84% self-made rate.

SpaceX Starship No. 40 successfully splashed down in the Indian Ocean after its 13th test flight on July 24, becoming the first starship to maintain an intact hull after falling into the sea. After nearly three months of transportation, it has arrived at the Texas Starport base and will be used for post-flight system data analysis.

Elon Musk stated that any disruptions to Ukraine's use of the Starshield satellite system are the responsibility of the US government, not SpaceX, emphasizing that the system is owned and controlled by the US military and ultimately the President. He distinguished Starshield from the civilian Starlink system, which Ukraine also uses but cannot employ for offensive operations.
