[Google launches test satellite equipped with AI chip] On October 3, a prototype satellite equipped with Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) chip was recently launched by Google in the United States to test the operating performance of the chip in the space environment and study whether artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure can be deployed in space in the future. This prototype satellite is equipped with 4 Google TPU chips and was launched by the "Transporter-18" mission of the American Space Exploration Technology Company. Google said that its team has established communication with the satellite and that the satellite is currently operating normally. Google said the launch is part of a long-term study to explore whether scalable machine learning infrastructure can be deployed in space in the future. Google said it will collect satellite in-orbit operation data in the next few weeks, focusing on evaluating the TPU chip's ability to withstand physical stress during space flight and radiation and extreme temperatures in the space environment, and improve future related designs accordingly. According to information from Google, TPU is specially built to accelerate machine learning and AI computing, providing support for various applications such as large language models and complex reasoning agents. In low-Earth orbit, satellites can obtain nearly continuous sunlight, and solar power generation can reach up to 8 times that of the ground level. In the future, it may be possible to interconnect multiple satellite constellations to handle larger-scale AI computing tasks in orbit. (CCTV News)

With the support and cooperation of ground personnel, the crew completed the return to the cabin of the material external exposure experimental device. Since this device was launched into orbit with the Tianzhou-5 cargo spacecraft on November 12, 2022, it has carried out 3 batches of exposure experiments totaling 16 projects, creating many international firsts. Currently, the fourth experiment is being carried out, covering 8 scientific research projects and 26 unit samples. Last week, various space science experiments (experiments) were carried out in an orderly manner in the cabin. The crew conducted mass perception and arm vibration experimental tests of the on-orbit tactile perception experiment project to study the changing rules of astronauts' tactile perception ability during space flight. They also completed emergency decision-making ability assessment and on-orbit emotional state testing, and continued to accumulate test data. In terms of maintenance of the space station complex platform, the crew replaced components in the water and gas separation device of the regenerative life support system. In addition, the astronauts completed medical examinations such as 12-lead electrocardiograms and non-invasive cardiac function tests, and used equipment such as bone loss countermeasures and neuromuscular stimulators to combat the physiological effects of weightlessness.

[Wu Jiangxing, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: VLEO ultra-low orbit is the last strategic new resource layer in earth space] On September 13, at the Pujiang Innovation Forum-Space Computing Power Industry Ecological Forum, Wu Jiangxing, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that VLEO ultra-low orbit is the last strategic new resource layer in earth space. Wu Jiangxing said that 2026-2030 is a critical window period for China to change its development path. It is only five years and must achieve a complete leap from technology testing to large-scale application. If the opportunity is missed, orbits, spectrum resources and international standards will be seized first, and China will fall into the unfavorable situation of passively following suit. VLEO, or Very Low Earth Orbit, usually refers to a spacecraft operating in a space range of 200-350 kilometers above the ground.

[Report: China ranks second in global space infrastructure assessment] September 13th, the "2026 Global Space Infrastructure Assessment" released at the 2026 China International Trade in Services Fair showed that the United States and China ranked the top two in the global space infrastructure assessment. The reporter learned that the report establishes software and hardware indicators such as survival systems, launch systems, communication systems, energy systems, laws and regulations, and dispute governance mechanisms, focusing on space infrastructure oriented by interstellar connectivity, and the evaluation targets cover 48 economies around the world. According to the report, before 2035, human space activities will still be dominated by the cislunar space. After 2040, the development of Earth-Mars space may become a reality, but it will be difficult to enter interplanetary space on a large scale in the short term. Extraterrestrial space will become a new arena for geopolitical and technological competition. (China News Service)

[President of the European Commission: Support European aerospace giants in establishing joint ventures] On September 11, the first International Space Summit concluded in Paris, France. European Commission President von der Leyen said in Paris that day that the EU has proposed updated corporate merger guidelines to support the joint efforts of European aerospace industry giants to create aerospace joint ventures. She stressed that European companies need to have a certain scale to invest and compete globally. European Airbus, France's Thales Group and Italy's Leonardo currently hope to expand scale by integrating satellite-related businesses, enhance the global competitiveness of the European aerospace industry, and challenge the Starlink satellite Internet service owned by the U.S. Space Exploration Technology Corporation. However, since the three companies have certain overlap in relevant business areas, the transaction may face EU antitrust review and may require the divestiture of some businesses or assets to obtain approval.
