China Unveils 'Nebula Constellation' Plan, Accelerating Deployment of Its Space-Computing Cloud
At the 2026 Space-Cloud Industry Ecology Conference on November 9, China released outcomes of its space-cloud industrialization including the "Nebula Constellation" plan, marking a key step from technology validation to industrial layout for the country's "space cloud." A space cloud is an in-orbit, collaboratively coordinated space-based cloud service that changes the traditional satellite model of "single-satellite observation, data returned to ground for processing," letting space-based resources be called on demand and used instantly. The plan signals accelerating deployment of space-based computing as a new layer of national AI and digital infrastructure, extending intelligent processing from ground data centers to orbit and supporting applications from Earth observation to communications.
