On September 10th, Dreame Technology officially announced the establishment of its Astronomy Business Unit (BU), officially entering the fields of astronomical optics and the space economy. The newly established Astronomy BU will focus on intelligent astronomical optical systems, devote itself to the R & D and application of such systems, create humanity's "Eye of the Sky", and while promoting the popularization of astronomical observation, participate in the manufacturing and production of the commercial space industry chain.
Among them, in the field of high - end astronomical optical equipment manufacturing, Dreame is concentrating on solving the mass - production problem of large - aperture optical lenses.
For a long time, the manufacturing of large - aperture and high - precision optical lenses has been monopolized by foreign enterprises. Especially in the amateur astronomical telescope market, users often face problems such as complex equipment adjustment, susceptibility to atmospheric interference, and difficulty in capturing scientific - grade images.
36Kr has learned that Dreame's first intelligent astronomical telescope product may adopt an ultra - large - aperture design. Its built - in AI algorithm can automatically compensate for atmospheric jitter, and intelligently identify and track deep - space celestial bodies, solving the pain points of "complex adjustment and susceptibility to interference" of traditional equipment, enabling amateur enthusiasts to capture scientific - grade astronomical images.
In terms of in - orbit optical payload services in space, Dreame's Astronomy BU is collaborating with domestic commercial space companies to jointly develop high - resolution Earth - observation payloads.
In recent years, with the progress of global space technology and the acceleration of commercialization, commercial space has gradually become an important part of the space field. According to data from the China Research and Development Institute, the global space economy was worth approximately $384 billion in 2022. Among them, the four major industries related to commercial artificial satellites, including rocket launches, satellite manufacturing, ground equipment, and application services, accounted for as much as 73%, reaching a scale of $281 billion.
Previously, Dreame had established a three - level R & D system of "pre - research - product - platform". While the Astronomy BU efficiently collaborates with the group's underlying technical resources, through the transformation and upgrading of the intelligent flexible production line, floor - sweeping robots can also be produced on the same production line as astronomical equipment components. Through technological transfer capabilities and manufacturing adaptability, the core technologies can be compound - applied in space scenarios.
Dreame's intelligent flexible production line
In addition, Dreame will also launch the "Dreame Universe" platform. Global astronomical enthusiasts can control intelligent devices through the platform, share captured cosmic images, generate star maps identified by AI with one click, obtain observation guides, and access Dreame's exclusive deep - space database, constructing a closed - loop ecosystem of "hardware + software + community".
In terms of long - term corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects, Dreame's Astronomy BU will cooperate with multiple academicians and astrophysics experts to continuously launch the "Stargazing Together" series of public - welfare live courses.
