China launches new AI-powered Earth observation satellite

The "Hong Kong Youth Scientific Innovation" satellite, the world's first large-scale AI model Earth observation satellite used for sustainable urban development, was sent into planned orbit atop a Smart Dragon-3 (SD-3) commercial rocket along with six other satellites on February 12, 2026.

Unlike traditional satellites that rely on ground-based analysis, this cutting-edge satellite incorporates large-scale AI models and can process data in real time. 

Its real-time data processing capabilities are a game-changer for disaster response, providing immediate information and allowing for quicker mobilization of resources.
