  • China is building the world's first supercomputer network in space, for which it launched 12 AI-powered satellites recently.
  • Each of the 12 satellites can process up to 744 trillion operations per second, having transfer rates up to 100 gigabits per second.
  • The space computing satellite constellation is the first constellation of the 'Star Computing' program.
  • The "Three-Body Computing Constellation" will function as a space-based data processing network.
  • This network is capable of computing vast amounts of information directly in orbit, without relying on any Earth-based infrastructure.
  • Earlier this year, Beijing unveiled plans to build the "Three Gorges Dam of Space" to harness limitless solar power.
  • This initiative involves deploying a massive solar array one kilometre wide in geostationary orbit, 36,000 kilometres above Earth.
