The Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications’ School of Computer Science reports significant advancements in the field of space computing capabilities. The team’s space server, launched aboard the Beiyou-2 and Beiyou-3 satellites, has already been operating stably in orbit for nearly a year, successfully completing several cutting-edge scientific experiments. Its superior underlying technological architecture has been fully demonstrated, providing a powerful impetus for the development of China’s space computing capabilities.

During its on-orbit operation, the space server supported multiple cutting-edge scientific research missions across all areas of satellite-borne technology. In the fields of AI and communications, the collaboration between satellites and ground systems improved the efficiency of image analysis information acquisition by 50 times, and demonstrated the ability of the 6G satellite-borne core network to operate stably even in the harsh space environment. In the areas of software deployment and data transmission, containerization technology was utilized to achieve efficient updates of satellite software, reducing transmission delay by an average of 56.54%. Furthermore, the advantages of semantic communication technology in addressing challenges such as narrow bandwidth and high error rates in satellite-ground links were also verified.

In addition, the exploration of inter-satellite consensus algorithms laid a solid foundation for the future construction of a distributed space computing network.
