Make “AI in Space” an inclusive technology

The Space Age is here: Space is the common heritage of mankind, and its exploration and utilization are significant to the future and common interest of humanity.

The space industry is a critical domain for human advancement.

The space information industry represents a strategic industry of the future, with a trillion-dollar market potential.

Space computing, based on intelligent computing and the interstellar internet construction in space, eliminates the technological bottleneck (computing and data processing issues) in the space industry development.

Zhejiang Lab, together with partners, initiates the first professional international cooperative organization focused on the space computing in the world: International Space Computing Organization, which is committed to realizing the online provision of space services, the valorization of aerospace data, and making “AI in Space” an inclusive technology.

Increasing inequality in space development among nations

The high cost and lengthy construction periods of space endeavors, coupled with significant technological barriers and disparities in investment among nations, are aggravating the inequality.

Insufficient resource-sharing mechanism

The lack of deep dialogues and cooperation mechanisms between states, regions, civilian agencies and organizations in space are significant.

The performance of Open Science movement falls short of expectations

Inadequate infrastructure in the field of science and technology stifles the potential of Open Science movement.

The lagging development of critical technologies such as computing power, models, and data

The uncertainty in the short-term outlook for the space industry impacts the investment in technology R&D.

Project

Core functions of Zhejiang Constellation

Space-data-as-a-Service (SDaaS)
Providing instant service for on-orbit data analysis and knowledge updating.

Connection is computing
Provide instant on-demand computing service when connected and transferred with CSCN/communication/navigation/remote sensing/scientific satellites.

One for all
Connection to one satellite can share computing/storage/data/knowledge resources from all 386 satellites.

Deployable vertical domain models
100B+ large language model achieves highly sensitive on-orbit monitoring and intelligent analysis of surface information, supporting rapid response to abnormal events such as disasters.

The Council is the supreme decision-making body, with the initial council members comprising the founding institutions, and responsible for formulating policies and overseeing the organization's operations.

The Advisory Committee is accountable to the Council, composed of nominees recommended by council members, and provides strategic decision-making consultation for the organization's development.

The Academic Committee consists of technical experts and scholars and holds the authority to develop individual members.

The Secretariat is responsible to the Council and handles organizing annual meetings, reporting annual work progress, formulating work plans, and coordinating the activities of working groups.

Subordinate to the Secretariat are working groups dedicated to infrastructure construction, technical standards, data circulation, and cooperation, responsible for undertaking work in their areas respectively.
