12 space computing satellites launched

China launched a Long March-2D carrier rocket on Wednesday, placing a new constellation of space computing satellites into orbit. The launch marks a significant advancement in the country's space-based computing capabilities. The rocket blasted off at 12:12 pm from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The newly launched 12 computing satellites are the first batch of what will become the "Three-Body Computing Constellation". Wang Jian, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of Zhejiang Lab, said the "Three-Body Computing Constellation" is a large-scale space computing infrastructure designed to host thousands of satellites with a total computing power of 1,000 peta operations per second upon completion.
