SenseTime Space Computing Constellation (商汤太空算力星座)

This project focuses on a proposed constellation of satellites for computing in space.


SenseTime and ADA Space announced an orbital-computing cooperation at WAIC on 18 July 2026. SenseTime's company report targets initial Shangtang-series satellite launches and networking in 2026 and a thousand-satellite-class network exceeding 10,000 P by 2030. P is the source's native unit with precision undefined. No launch specifically attributed to this program or completed commercial capacity has been verified.

Evidence & scope

The company uses native P without defining precision. Preserve that unit; do not silently normalize to PFLOPS or treat it as measured capacity.

Evidence & scope

A thousand-satellite-class plan, not a launched fleet or procurement quantity. Hardware overlap with other ADA Space programs is unresolved.

NEXT MILESTONE

Launch and identify the first verification satellites attributed to this program

Manual review 29 Oct 2026. SenseTime's July 20 account still supports only a proposed 2026 initial launch and 2030 thousand-satellite, greater-than-10,000 P roadmap. No attributed launch, defined precision or achieved capacity was found. Primary body last observed 20 Oct, 01:08 UTC. Source monitoring: ongoing. Source collection and substantive profile review are separate checks. Plans and dates may change.

WHAT REMAINS UNKNOWN
  • Identity and launch status of first verification satellites attributed to this program
  • Numerical precision and operational meaning of the native P compute target
  • Relationship to ADA Space's existing Three-Body/Xingsuan hardware
  • Funding, contracting parties and procurement values
  • Named orbital hardware suppliers and validated on-orbit capacity
  • Commercial service terms
  • Current confirmation of the previously reported 2028 backbone target

Project updates

Verified announcements and milestones linked to this project, newest first.

Company publishes orbital roadmap (opens in a new tab)

SenseTime describes 2026 initial launch/networking and a 2030 thousand-satellite-class network exceeding 10,000 P. The same article also discusses a terrestrial Galaxy Plan; its other participants are not thereby orbital suppliers.

Earlier coverage describes a 2028 backbone target (opens in a new tab)

The previously reviewed People's Daily account describes a 2028 space–ground hybrid backbone as an intermediate roadmap target. This remains an attributed plan, not completed deployment. The source could not be re-read in this pass, and SenseTime's 20 July company account does not repeat this intermediate step.
