# 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.

|
## 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
