Zhejiang Lab

Type: Research Lab
Domain: Space Development (AI/Computing)
Status: Active
Country: China

Overview

Zhejiang Lab is a major Chinese AI research institution, comparable to a national AI laboratory. The lab partners with ADA Space and CASIC on the Three-Body Computing Constellation program, providing AI model development and research capabilities for orbital computing applications.

Timeline

  • 2025-05-14 — Three-Body constellation launch (12 satellites) with Zhejiang Lab AI models
  • 2026-02-16 — Validated 8-billion-parameter remote sensing LLM and 8-billion-parameter astronomical time-domain model in orbit with 94% classification accuracy

Technical Contributions

Zhejiang Lab developed the AI models running on the Three-Body constellation:

  • 8-billion-parameter remote sensing LLM
  • 8-billion-parameter astronomical time-domain model
  • Among the largest parameter counts of any operational in-orbit AI globally as of February 2026

Strategic Role

Zhejiang Lab's involvement demonstrates China's strategy of integrating national AI research capabilities with commercial space infrastructure development, creating civilian-led programs with state research support.
