This project focuses on testing AI processing in orbit.
OL-1 launched on November 11, 2024 as an intelligent-computing remote-sensing spacecraft carrying Zhejiang Lab software and a foundation model for validation. STAR.VISION's October 8, 2026 account reports more than 5,000 hours of on-orbit operation. This supports operator-reported platform operation, without a disclosed processor benchmark or proof of paid compute service.

Manual review 30 Oct 2026. STAR.VISION reports more than 5,000 hours of OL-1 platform operation in its October 8 account. Earlier launch, Zhejiang Lab software and delivered ground segment are reconciled. No independent processor benchmark, completed model validation or paid compute service established. Primary body last observed 23 Oct, 02:04 UTC. Source monitoring: blocked. Source collection and substantive profile review are separate checks. Plans and dates may change.
STAR.VISION says it presented the Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta compute pair and a new Oman Lens satellite pair at IAC on October 5, 2026. The October 8 account describes AI decision/compute roles, the 021 model and optical coordination within the Three-Body ecosystem. It separately reports that the earlier OL-1 spacecraft has operated in orbit for more than 5,000 hours. Later October 9 wording treats the compute pair as a Q4 2026 launch plan.
