Eventually, after the end of all speculation, the first communication satellite of Bangladesh, Bangabandhu-1, went into space orbit in Falcon-9 rocket on May 12 in Florida from SpaceX. And with this flyover, Bangladesh named the own satellite owner Elite Club of the countries. Bangabandhu Satellite is the world's 57th satellite power country by Bangladesh.
On 10 May local time in Florida, due to the mechanical error of SPExx, Bangabandhu-1 satellite was dropped one day back on May 11 at the local time in Florida at 2 pm. Bangabandhu-1 satellite was successfully launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, on May 12, 2018 (or on Friday, May 11). In the 33 minutes and 47 seconds of the launch, Bangabandhu-1 satellite reached Geostatione Transfer Orbit.

Last year, on December 16, Bangabandhu was supposed to fly the satellite, but Hurricane Arma's launch space was brought back to Florida by this year due to extensive damage to Florida.
The satellite was delayed on May 4th, but it was delayed and the new date was given on May 10. On 10th May, due to the mechanical fault of the SpaceX, another day was taken back to the local time of Florida on May 11 afternoon. At that time the time was 12 May, 2018 (or on the 11th of the day on Friday) at 2:14 pm. SpiceX did not want to take any risk even though it took a little longer. The new version of their 9-rocket rocket 'Block 5' was welded by a little longer, the flight delayed the spacex.
The whole time of the artificial satellite Bangabandhu-1 of Bangladesh, live on their website live as SPACEX.
People of Bangladesh are very excited to witness this phenomenon. In addition, there is a great curiosity with the satellites among ordinary people. The article to find answers to them.

How to Start
In the last year, the decision to launch Bangabandhu-1 satellite was officially finalized. In that year, BTRC signed an agreement with the company of Thales Alenya Space, France, to buy a satellite system of about Tk 2 billion. Then in September 2016, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) signed a loan agreement with HSBC Bank for a loan of Tk 1400 crore as part of the cost to send satellite orbit.
What is the cost of Bangabandhu-1 satellite?
Total cost of implementing Bangabandhu-1 satellite project is Tk 2,990 crore. This money is coming in two ways. Of this, there are government fund of Tk 1, 544 crore. HSBC is giving loan of Tk 1,358 crore as loan
Construction of Bangabandhu-1 satellite was more than 1 year
The construction of the Bangabandhu-1 satellite in France took more than 1 year. On 11 November 2015, the government of Bangladesh contracted with Satellite Manufacturer Company Thalass. BTRC Chairman Shahjahan Mahmood said in November of 2017 that the construction work of the Bangabandhu satellite was completed. Then in March 2015, special cargo flights were sent to the US Kennedy Space Center to launch it.

Bangabandhu Satellite's Space Journey
The Bangabandhu-1 satellite has been carrying the satellite in the orbit of the commercial space company, SpaceX, in commercial space and space exploration company. It is one of the renowned organizations of the elon mask. The spacecraft that sends the satellite into space is the Falcon-9 Block 5 Rocket of SpaceX. The first mission of the new version of Flexcon 9 rocket in SpaceX was on Block 5, Bangabandhu-1.
The satellite was delayed on May 4th, but it was delayed and the new date was given on May 10. On 10th May, due to the mechanical fault of the SpaceX, another day was taken back to the local time of Florida on May 11 afternoon. At that time the time was 12 May, 2018 (or on the 11th of the day on Friday) at 2:14 pm. SpiceX did not want to take any risk even though it took a little longer. The new version of their 9-rocket rocket 'Block 5' was welded by a little longer, the flight delayed the spacex.
From where the launch is Bangabandhu-1 satellite
NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center Complex, located in the United States of America, has flown the Bangabandhu-1 satellite from the 39th Launchpad, a new version of the Falcon 9 rocket of the SpaceX Rocket 5 rocket. Apollo-11 moved to Chandravya from this launch complex in 1969. After the satellite reached 35700 kilometers, the rocket stage is completely separated from 1 part and it crosses the Earth from 36,000 kilometers. To control it, the orbit set 119.1 is finalized in the eastern longitude. Bangladesh has bought this orbital slot for 15 years from the Russian satellite company Interpatnik, which has cost about Tk. 219 million.
The specification of Bangabandhu-1 satellite
Bangabandhu satelite weighing about 3600 kgs and will have 40 transponders for satellite communication. Of these, 20 will be used by Bangladesh itself and the remaining 20 transponders will be rented in exchange for money from different countries or organizations.
See how will be Bangabandhu-1 satellite?
You might have already seen various imagery pictures of Bangabandhu satellite on Facebook. Here is a picture published by the satellite manufacturer's company.

On Bangabandhu-1 satellite, on our red-green flag color design, English and Bangabandhu are written in English. There are also monopolies of Bangladesh government.
The image above shows the Bangabandhu-1 satellite in space.
After a lot of work!
After the flight, it will take 20 days (for a total of 30 days) to take full control of the satellite by completing different steps. The United States, three Ground stations in Korea and Italy will control the satellite during this time. The satellite's control will be handed over to the Bangladeshi authorities only after full control. For the control of Bangabandhu, the government of Bangladesh has already built two ground stations at Joydebpur and Gazipur's Batbunia for control of satellite. A special state company named 'Bangladesh Communications Satellite Company Limited' has been formed.
The facilities available from Bangabandhu-1 satellite
Bangabandhu-1 will provide at least 40 types of services, such as satellite television broadcasts, radio, V-sat, DTH (Direct-to-home) services, internet etc. Bangladesh will save around 14 million dollars annually by launching Bangabandhu satellite. Because they do not need to rent Bangladesh and foreign satellite at a high price for their satellite. It is expected that the satellite will be operational for at least 15 years.
