Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD and over 100 other organizations will jointly build a "space cloud" ecosystem.

At the 2nd Aerospace Information Technology Conference held today (May 9), CAS Xi'an Aerospace, together with more than 100 research institutes and universities, proposed to jointly build a "Space Cloud" ecosystem and promote the formation of a "Space Cloud" space-based information service system. The "Space Cloud" is expected to play an important role in multiple fields such as emergency response and disaster reduction, public services, and emerging industries, enhancing the intelligent and systematic comprehensive application efficiency of space-based resources.

Simply put, "space cloud" refers to various types of satellites in the sky, such as remote sensing satellites and communication satellites.Computing satelliteBy integrating them through technological means, an intelligent space-based information service system is formed, realizing the leap from "functional single star" to "intelligent nebula".

In the field of emergency response and disaster mitigation, "space cloud" can significantly improve the timeliness of space-based information response, buying valuable time for emergency decision-making. In the past, when disasters such as floods and earthquakes occurred, disaster prevention and mitigation departments had to use satellites to take images of the disaster area, transmit them back to the ground processing center, process them, and then distribute them, which took a long time. With "space cloud," satellites in space can quickly coordinate and transmit information back in the first instance, saving precious time for emergency decision-making.

With the "space cloud" designed for mass application, people can access it on demand using portable devices like mobile phones, and access data and information services from space anytime, anywhere, just as conveniently as we use our mobile phones to access the internet today.

In addition, "space cloud" can also empower the low-altitude economy,6G applicationsEmerging industries such as [unspecified industries] will build an integrated air-ground information service platform to provide all-weather, near-real-time intelligent information services.

Currently, the technological level and the number of high-resolution remote sensing satellites in orbit in my country have reached the international leading level.High-throughput communication satellitesConstruction is entering a period of rapid development. Simultaneously, space computing power, as a new strategic competitive frontier in the aerospace field, is entering a phase of accelerated development. The establishment of the "space cloud" ecosystem and the creation of the "space cloud" space-based information service system will significantly enhance the comprehensive application efficiency of my country's space-based resources and empower the high-quality development of the national economy.
