China is developing a new space-based computing network called Xingshu, or "Star Hub," which aims to process satellite data in orbit using AI. This network, a collaboration between Fudan University and Shanghai Xingshu Tiansuan Space Technology Co., will eventually consist of approximately 1,000 satellites. The initiative will offer on-demand computing services for various sectors and will also leverage AI with satellite observations for applications like weather forecasting and disaster monitoring. This project is part of China's broader efforts in space computing, following other constellations like Tiansuan and Three-Body Computing Constellation. AI
