Space-computing developer Zhongke Tiansuan built the Jiguang 5000C prototype with Chinese-made chips; launch and orbital validation remain pending.

A Financial_Express message citing Shangguan News reports that Zhongke Tiansuan developed the Jiguang 5000C space-supercomputing prototype. The prototype was described at the Shanghai space-based computing industrial base near the G60 science-and-technology corridor, with its chips reported as entirely Chinese-made.

The report distinguishes the prototype from an operational orbital service: launch is to occur at a later date, followed by in-orbit validation. Neither a completed launch nor successful orbital testing is established by the supplied material.

The source defines the intended commercial capability as continuous in-orbit computing services that are deliverable and reusable. It provides no chip models, GPU counts, computing-performance figures, power requirements, or customer contracts, so the reported milestone is prototype development rather than a quantified commercial deployment.
