SemiAnalysis reports that Chinese company Envision has completed the first 120MW phase of its Galaxy AI data center campus in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, in under a year, at roughly one-fifth the cost of comparable US facilities. The full campus, serving two unnamed internet companies, is planned to reach 800MW of IT capacity by 2027, pairing data halls with dedicated wind farms and battery storage rather than relying solely on the local grid.

Envision Energy says it has deployed what it calls the first commercial 800-volt DC power system at its Galaxy AI data center in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, running since August under the Dubhe Controller and Dubhe Energy Foundation Model. The system converts electricity directly from 10kV medium-voltage AC to an 800V DC bus, cutting out conventional conversion stages, and pairs solid-state transformers with battery storage for millisecond-level load balancing. The Galaxy campus is planned to scale to 3GW and eventually support up to one million AI accelerators.

Industry executives from firms including Queue Associates, Envision IT and Think AI argue that software companies must link AI tools to specific operational problems and measurable results to turn customer interest into sustained revenue. The piece cites Gartner's forecast of $1.468 trillion in global software spending for 2026, a 15.5% year-over-year rise, and IDC's projection of roughly $497 billion in AI infrastructure spending in 2026, growing about 56% annually and surpassing $1 trillion by 2029.

NASA has accelerated its DAVINCI atmospheric probe mission to Venus, now set for a December 2030 launch, a year earlier than previously scheduled. Its sister mission, the VERITAS orbiter, is slated to launch in November 2032, while ESA's EnVision orbiter is also planned for 2032, and Rocket Lab hopes to send a privately funded cloud-sampling probe as early as next year.

The European Space Agency is pressing ahead with its Envision mission to Venus after NASA signaled it likely can't deliver the US-built synthetic aperture radar it had promised under a 2024 partnership agreement. That radar was meant to be the spacecraft's main tool for mapping the planet's volcanic surface through its thick sulfuric-acid clouds at ten times the resolution of NASA's 1990s Magellan mission. ESA's project scientist says development will continue at full pace regardless.
