As global informationization deepens, the importance of Space‐Ground Integrated Network (SGIN) as a new network architecture becomes increasingly prominent. SGIN combines the advantages of ground and space networks, enabling global information interconnection and sharing through various communication means such as satellites, drones, and ground stations. However, due to its complex network environment and diverse communication requirements, traditional network architectures struggle to meet its demands for efficiency, stability, and scalability. To address these challenges, we focus on the research, design, and implementation of a cloud‐edge collaboration‐based multi‐cluster system for SGIN. The goal is to construct an efficient, stable, and scalable network system capable of providing seamless global coverage and efficient communication within SGIN. We design a multi‐cluster system architecture based on container technology, leveraging cloud and edge computing techniques for dynamic resource allocation and efficient utilization. This architecture aims to meet the diverse network service requirements of ground terminals, enhancing responsiveness, efficiency, resilience, and reliability of network services. Additionally, we introduce a multipath data transmission mechanism to support the transfer of large‐scale data, such as remote sensing images. A simulation platform tailored for SGIN is developed, demonstrating the feasibility of the multi‐cluster system and the effectiveness of multipath data transmission.
