Diwei II Launches 'Space String' Thousand-Star Blueprint, Aiming to Match SpaceX Starmind by 2028

In September 2026, China's commercial aerospace sector entered a period of intense growth, with multiple companies securing hundreds of millions in funding and achieving at least 10 launches within a month to deploy 44 satellites. This surge signals a shift from technology validation to large-scale deployment, driving industry focus toward space computing as satellite density approaches physical limits. On September 25, the 'Space String' computing constellation initiative was launched in Hangzhou. According to its roadmap, this China's first global-oriented space computing constellation plans to deploy over 1,000 space agents by the long term, with the G1 satellite scheduled for launch in 2027 featuring a 11.5KW load and 40-60P computing power.
