From May 13 to 14, Southeast University’s National Graduate School of Exceptional Engineers was invited to attend the Liquid Propellant Application Technology Innovation Forum at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and witnessed the successful launch of the Space Computing Satellite Constellation. Participants included Professor Wu Min from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Deputy Director Zheng Yingping of the Analysis and Testing Center, and faculty and students from the School of Transportation, the School of Civil Engineering, and the National Graduate School of Exceptional Engineers.
On May 13, the faculty and students participated in a special report and achievement exhibition for the liquid propellant application technology innovation forum, where Professor Wu Min delivered a presentation. Wu emphasized that green catalytic technology can efficiently degrade toxic residues in wastewater from aerospace liquid propellants. Through catalytic oxidation, photocatalysis, and other methods, the technology enables low-energy, low-pollution treatment and contributes to aerospace environmental protection. The technology offers both high degradation efficiency and resource recovery potential, and may be further optimized for use in wastewater treatment at rocket launch sites and propellant production facilities.
At 12:12 p.m. Beijing time on May 14, the Long March 2D carrier rocket successfully launched the Space Computing Constellation satellites into orbit, and the mission achieved complete success. The successful launch marked the entry into orbit of the world’s first space computing satellite constellation, ushering in a new era of “space computing.” The first batch of 12 satellites in the “Xingsuan” program uses self-developed intelligent satellite platforms and carries payloads such as the orbital intelligent computing machine and orbital high-speed router developed by the Zhijiang Laboratory, enabling “computing power to go to space” and “in-orbit networking.” Each satellite is equipped with an orbital intelligent computing system and inter-satellite communication system, giving it space computing and space interconnection capabilities. Once the constellation is formed, it will establish the world’s strongest space computing capacity. Through high-speed inter-satellite laser links, stable constellation networking, and distributed computing scheduling, the constellation will build an open and shared space computing system and create a space-based intelligent computing infrastructure. It will complete on-orbit verification and application of basic space computing functions such as building links, networking, and cloud formation.
This event laid a solid foundation for deeper cooperation between the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and Southeast University’s National Graduate School of Exceptional Engineers in the aerospace field. The two sides will give full play to their respective strengths and jointly advance aerospace technological innovation and high-end talent cultivation, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of China’s aerospace industry.
