UCloud / USST space-computing prototype
This project focuses on space-computing hardware research prototype.
UCloud and USST presented an integrated space-computing research prototype at WAIC on July 17, 2026. The university reports laboratory operation of coupled photovoltaic/battery power, GPU computing and pumped liquid thermal-control subsystems. It is an enabling ground prototype for extreme-environment research, not a launched satellite or operating orbital data center.

Announced 17 Jul 2026 · Evidence checked 1 Nov 2026
Publish test conditions and quantitative results, then any mission-specific flight configuration and demonstration commitment.
Manual review 1 Nov 2026. Compared the university's July18 account with the current catalog. Added the distinct ground prototype, coupled power/GPU/fluid-cooling architecture and intended workloads. Lab operation does not establish flight or vacuum qualification. No GPU model, measured budgets, mission or financing transaction disclosed. Primary body last observed not available. Source monitoring: partial. Source collection and substantive profile review are separate checks. Plans and dates may change.
GPU model/count, arithmetic throughput, installed RAM/storage, electrical budgets and quantitative heat rejection are not disclosed.
Vacuum/microgravity test conditions, numerical operating limits, mass, dimensions and endurance are not established in the inspected university account.
No launch, orbit, host, mission procurement, customer service or financing transaction is identified. Xingtu is a future platform-integration reference, not a verified installed flight configuration.
