此前，马斯克刚宣布将 xAI 与 SpaceX 合并，以推动在外太空建设 AI 数据中心的计划。此次讲话中，他进一步把愿景扩展至月球基地，不过并未说明具体 建设路径。 据IT之家了解，SpaceX 正在筹备首次公开募股，最快可能在 6 月进行。 IT之家 2 月 11 日消息，当地时间 2 月 10 日，据《纽约时报》报道，马斯克在 xAI 全员会议上提出一个极具科幻色彩的构想：在月球建设工厂生产 AI 卫 星，并配备一套名为"质量驱动器"的大型弹射装置，将卫星送入太空，为 AI 提供庞大的算力支持。 "你们必须去月球。"马斯克直言，如此方能使 xAI 获得远超竞争对手的算力资源。"很难想象那种规模的智能会思考什么，但看到这一切发生，将令人无比 兴奋。" 两名前 SpaceX 高管表示，月球此前并非公司核心战略重点。 马斯克说，公司将先在月球建立"一座自给自足的城市"，随后前往火星，最终探索恒星系统寻找外星生命。 会议中，马斯克还谈到 X 平台的现状与未来规划。马斯克说，X 目前约有 6 亿月活跃用户，该数据未获独立验证。2022 年收购 Twitter 时，公司披露日活跃 用户为 2.378 亿。 自从 2 ...

智通财经APP获悉，浙商证券发布研报称，随着商业航天技术突破带来的发射成本大幅下降，以及低轨 卫星互联网星座的爆发式增长，太空光伏正从科学构想加速迈向商业化现实，成为能源革命的终极疆 域。而其中，钙钛矿太阳能电池凭借其高光电转换效率、卓越的抗辐射性能、轻质柔性、低成本潜力等 核心优势，正成为太空光伏应用的理想选择，有望率先实现大规模商业化应用。 2）设备先行：新技术路线的产业化必然率先利好设备供应商，建议重点关注在PVD、激光、封装等领 域具备核心技术，并积极布局钙钛矿专用设备的龙头企业。 3）电池/组件技术为王：掌握钙钛矿核心技术的电池/组件厂商是产业链的中坚力量，建议关注在转换 效率、大面积制备、稳定性方面取得突破，并与航天机构建立合作关系的企业。 风险提示 技术进展不及预期风险、关键技术商业化滞后风险、竞争格局加剧风险、回测局限性风险。 2026年是太空光伏与钙钛矿产业化的关键转折点 一方面，以SpaceX为代表的商业航天巨头加速太空基础设施建设，为太空光伏提供应用场景；另一方 面，地面钙钛矿电池技术已进入GW级产线投产阶段，技术外溢效应显著。此外，多个在轨验证项目的 成功实施，也进一步验证钙钛矿电池在 ...
