Beijing Space Intelligence Computing Research Institute Registered in Beijing Yizhuang

Summary: The Beijing Space Intelligence Computing Research Institute has been officially registered in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone (Yizhuang). Jointly established by the National Xinchuang Park together with companies including BOE, Galaxy Aerospace, Landspace, Star Power, Guanyu Xinsuan, and Changxin Jidian, the institute will focus on key technological areas such as space-based computing chips, inter-satellite laser communications, and integrated space-terrestrial networks, with a plan to complete development and launch of its first experimental satellite before 2028.

Research Directions and Goals

The institute will focus on the following key areas:

  • Space-based Computing Chips: Deploying computing hardware such as chips and servers directly onto satellites for in-orbit data processing
  • Inter-satellite Laser Communications: Enabling high-speed laser links between satellites
  • Space Energy and Thermal Management: Solving power supply and heat management challenges in the space environment
  • Integrated Space-Terrestrial Network: Building an "integrated space-terrestrial intelligent computing network" for seamless connectivity
  • Space Security Standards: Developing relevant technical standards and security specifications

The institute will establish a full-chain service system covering technology R&D, pilot testing, on-orbit verification, and achievement transformation. It will also leverage the professional committee on space computing initiated by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) to build a "company + alliance" collaborative framework.

Background

In early April this year, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, together with the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology and CAICT, held the First Space Computing Industry Conference, launching the preparation of the Beijing Space Computing Innovation Center, publishing the "List of Key Common Technology Challenges in Space Computing," and establishing the Space Computing Industry Development Coalition and its Professional Committee. Leaders from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the China National Space Administration attended the conference, alongside more than 1,000 experts, scholars, investment institutions, and industrial chain enterprises.

The Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone has already gathered a number of backbone enterprises in areas such as reusable rockets, satellite platforms, artificial intelligence, computing chips, 6G communications, and space photovoltaics. Industry institutions predict that the global space economy market scale will exceed one trillion US dollars by 2030.
