In June 2025, SHUNHO foresightedly recognized the disruptive value of space computing power. With a strategic investment of RMB 110 million in Beijing Guidao Chenguang Technology Co., Ltd., the company officially entered the high-potential space computing power track in the AI era, ushering in a new phase of development.
Why Space Computing Power?
Since its establishment, SHUNHO has always taken sustainable development as its core foundation. Faced with the industry pain points of traditional data centers—high operational costs, excessive energy consumption, and significant pressure on the ecological environment—we have chosen to break through from a higher dimension. By leveraging space computing power, a cutting-edge technology, we address the challenges that are difficult to tackle with conventional sustainable development methods, elevating the company’s sustainable mission to a new height.
This is not only a profound extension of SHUNHO’s sustainable values but also a new definition of the connotation of sustainable innovation in the context of the AI era.
The four core advantages of space computing power are essentially the ultimate practice of sustainable development:
Green Energy Supply: Breaking Free from High-Consumption Dependence
Leveraging natural clean energy in space, we eliminate traditional data centers’ reliance on fossil fuels, achieving a fundamental upgrade of the computing power energy supply system.
Efficient Energy Utilization: Rejecting Energy Waste
By virtue of the natural space environment for high-efficiency heat dissipation, we significantly reduce energy waste in the heat dissipation process.
Optimized Computing Efficiency: Minimizing Invalid Consumption
The ultra-low latency feature of "calculating in space, for space" enables data to be processed in orbit with only results transmitted back to Earth, drastically reducing energy loss and invalid consumption during transmission.
Minimized Ecological Impact: Avoiding Infrastructure Damage
No need to lay infrastructure in ecologically sensitive areas, avoiding damage to the natural environment and realizing a win-win situation between computing power coverage and ecological protection.
The tide of the times flows unceasingly, and technological innovation evolves iteratively. We firmly believe that there has never been a more suitable time, nor one with greater strategic inevitability, to engage in the field of space computing power.
Guidao Chenguang: Pioneer of Twilight Orbit Computing Power
Beijing Guidao Chenguang Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guidao Chenguang") is the first incubated industrial project of the Beijing Star Future Space Technology Research Institute. As the construction and operation entity of "Project 926" (the Twilight Orbit Giant Computing Power Satellite Constellation Project), it is positioned as a world-leading space data center operator, pioneering the "space-based CaaS (Computing as a Service)" service model and the innovative business concept of "Orbit as Computing Power".
Guidao Chenguang’s core mission is to deploy a computing power satellite constellation in the 700-800 km twilight orbit around Earth to build a space data center. Leveraging the natural advantages of this orbit—24/7 uninterrupted solar energy and cosmic cryogenic background radiation—it develops space intelligence, providing global users with full-scenario space-based computing power services: "Space Data, Space Computing" (real-time on-orbit processing of space data) and "Ground Data, Space Computing" (uploading ground data to space for processing). This initiative helps China seize scarce space resources and supports the high-quality development of the artificial intelligence and commercial aerospace industries.
Strategic Layout & Forward-Looking Vision
In terms of strategic layout, Guidao Chenguang plans to advance the construction of the space data center in three phases:
2025–2027: Breakthrough core technologies, complete the deployment of the Phase I computing power satellite constellation, and realize the "Space Data, Space Computing" application;
2028–2030: Master on-orbit assembly and construction technologies, promote the Phase II constellation construction, and achieve the "Ground Data, Space Computing" goal;
2031–2035: Realize large-scale satellite networking, build a large-scale space data center to support the "space-based primary computing" vision, and ultimately form a space-based computing power infrastructure with a total power exceeding 1 gigawatt (GW) and capable of accommodating a million-GPU-class server cluster.
As a key layout project for the construction of Beijing’s International Science and Technology Innovation Center, Guidao Chenguang, with support from the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Science Park Administration Committee, has taken the lead in establishing an innovation consortium for space data centers and carried out extensive research and development (R&D) on key technologies:
Through the R&D of new gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells and other products, the satellite’s overall power density has been significantly improved compared with traditional satellites;
In terms of heat dissipation, the team has adopted a new type of radiative cooling panel design and a two-phase fluid loop to ensure that the computing power satellite can efficiently radiate generated heat into the space environment under conditions of high power consumption, high heat flux density, and the absence of atmospheric convection for satellites;
Additionally, the team has conducted substantial technical breakthroughs in massive space-ground data transmission technology, high-specific-impulse propulsion technology, space environment protection technology, and large-scale space flat-panel deployment technology, achieving phased results. The first computing power test satellite "Chenguang-1" has completed development and will be launched at an appropriate time.
From breaking through ground-based computing power bottlenecks to expanding into the strategic frontier of space, from upholding the original aspiration of sustainable development to fulfilling the mission of building a space power, SHUNHO is steadily advancing its layout in the strategic opportunity of the space computing power field, guided by industry trends and supported by core technologies. As the "Space Data, Space Computing" vision gradually takes shape and the twilight orbit computing power network achieves space-ground connectivity, SHUNHO will contribute key strength to the in-depth integration of global space-based intelligent computing and sustainable development through continuous innovation.
(The aforementioned strategic layout and expectations are only the company’s phased judgments. Actual operating results may vary due to uncontrollable factors such as market changes, industry competition, and policy adjustments, and do not constitute a commitment, profit forecast, or performance commitment.)
