After the Bangabandhu satellite launch, telemetry signals are available from Ground Station Gazipur. It will take 8 to 12 days for sending telecommand.

On Friday night, Bangabandhu Satellite-1 was launched from Florida's Space Station in America. After the launch of Bangabandhu Satellite-1, telemetry signals from the satellite are available at Ground Station Gazipur. But the station is not able to send telecommunication to this satellite. It will take 8 to 12 days to send it. Telemetry and telecommunication will be run in parallel within a few days after reaching the height of 119.11 degrees in space, 35,786 kilometers above. The satellite company will have control over these days. After this, the responsibility of controlling its control will be explained to engineers of Gazipur and Betubunia.

Gazipur's Bangabandhu Satellite Primary Ground Station Manager (Satellite Engineer) Md. Nasiruzzaman said in the first light, at this moment we get a telemetry signal. But that's not directly, from the ears of France, through BPN. The satellite will be controlled from France's ear for the next 12 days. After 12 days, it will be possible to control Gazipur and Betbunia.

Ground Station of Bangabandhu Satellite 1 has been developed on 5 acres of land in Telipara area of ​​Gazipur.

Bangabandhu-1 satellite was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, on the last night, last Friday, after several times due to various reasons. Through this Bangladesh has become the 57th country in the world to own satellites.

Before this, final preparations were taken to launch Bangabandhu-1 at 3:45 pm on Thursday night. But in the last minute, the second spine stops. The start of the startup mode of the rocket is closed due to technical difficulties. It is reported that Bangabandhu-1 satellite is not flying on Thursday night. It was announced, Countdown will be restarted on Friday. The time has been fixed for the time of the launch of the satellite between the two hours and the second time on Saturday in Bangladesh between 4 and 21 minutes on Saturday.

Spacecraft is working to send the satellite to space space. SpaceX Bangabandhu-1 started their journey in the 'Falcon-9' rocket. It will be controlled from Gazipur of Bangladesh. For this, Ground Control Station has been built at Joydebpur in Gazipur. Rangamati Betbunia Ground Station will be used as an alternative.

It will be possible to extend Internet and telecommunications services through this satellite in remote areas of the country. A new dimension will be added to deal with the disaster situation. This satellite can be used to ensure satellite-based television service DTH (Direct-to-home) and to ensure national security.

The location of the Bangabandhu-1 satellite in space will be 119.1 degree East longitude. Apart from this orbit, all parts of SAARC countries like Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan will be covered under this satellite.
