China's commercial space sector is launching the "Digital Space No. 1" experimental satellite project to develop an intelligent "space brain." This initiative aims to address the challenges of an increasingly crowded orbital environment by enabling satellites to possess cognitive, inferential, and decision-making capabilities. The project, spearheaded by academician Wei Fengsi and driven by the company Digital Space, seeks to create a closed-loop intelligent system for satellites, moving beyond ground-based command and control towards limited autonomous and intelligent operation in space.
