China’s success is considered an indicator of progress in the field of space technology.
China announced that it has sent its first commercial ‘hypersatellite‘ controlled by artificial intelligence into orbit. The satellite, named “Xingshidai-18” (Rongpiao), was launched by a Smart Dragon-3 (SD-3) rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center off the coast of Yangjiang city in Guangdong province.
The next-generation hypersatellite was developed by Guoxing Aviation Technology and is named Rongpiao or Xingshidai-18. This integrated sensing network satellite is equipped with the company’s sixth-generation “satellite brain” system.
The SD-3 carrier rocket launched at 11:06 a.m. Beijing time, sending a group of nine satellites into the planned orbit. The group includes AI commercial hypersatellite and a remote retrograde orbit (DRO) satellite.
China’s achievement is considered an indicator of advances in space technology and represents an important milestone in future space exploration.
