Chinese Aerospace Firm Deploys AI Model on Orbiting Satellites
(MENAFN) A Chinese aerospace company has successfully deployed a general-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) model on its orbiting satellites, according to state-run news on Wednesday.
GuoXing Aerospace Technology announced on Monday that it uplinked Alibaba’s Qwen3 large language model to its first space-based computing center, enabling end-to-end reasoning tasks to be completed entirely in orbit.
“This marks the world's first deployment of a general-purpose large-scale AI model from ground control to an operational satellite constellation in orbit,” said Wang Yabo, executive vice president of GuoXing Aerospace.
In May 2025, China launched a constellation of 12 space computing satellites, forming the first cluster of GuoXing Aerospace’s space computing initiative. During initial trials, the Qwen3 AI model successfully processed multiple experiments: questions sent from Earth were analyzed on board, and results returned to Earth within two minutes.
Wang outlined ambitious plans for a network of 2,800 specialized computing satellites by 2035, with the second and third clusters scheduled for launch this year and a 1,000-satellite network expected by 2030.
Since its launch in April 2025, Alibaba’s Qwen3 AI model has demonstrated performance comparable to or exceeding that of U.S.-based OpenAI’s o1 and Chinese AI company DeepSeek’s R1 models.
