Two years prior to the day, Bangladesh's first satellite, Bangabandhu Satellite-1, was dispatched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on a Falcon 9. 


The effective dispatch was commended the nation over, with broad media inclusion. 


Bangabandhu Satellite-1 adds to supporting the country's economy by giving all residents a wide scope of media communications administrations (direct-to-home TV, radio, telemedicine, instruction and web access). Barely astounding that it was named out of appreciation for Bangabandhu Sheik Mujibur Rahman, the "father of the country". Bangladesh was energetically anticipating its first telecom satellite, since it assists the country with certifying its autonomy around here, and permit it to offer correspondences and broadcasting administrations to various adjoining nations, including Nepal, Myanmar and Bhutan.

Thales Alenia Space's commitment






Based on Thales Alenia Space's Spacebus 4000B2 stage, the satellite is fitted with both Ku and C-band transponders. Its inclusion zone traverses Bangladesh and adjoining locales. Situated at 119.1° East, it will give Ku-band administrations to Bangladesh and its regional waters in the Gulf of Bengal, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Indonesia, while likewise offering C-band limit over the whole district. 


Thales Alenia Space was prime worker for hire for this turnkey framework, working for the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC). We were answerable for the plan, development, testing and in-circle conveyance of the satellite.





Thales Alenia Space was likewise accountable for the ground section, in view of the committed SpaceOps answer for mission arrangement and observing. This work bundle incorporates two structures, for the satellite control place and functional organization community, which depends on Thales Alenia Space's far reaching SpaceGate arrangement. Our accomplice in Bangladesh, Spectra Engineers Ltd., took care of structural designing for the ground foundation. 


Like Brazil, Turkey and Argentine, praiseworthy instances of effective associations between Thales Alenia Space and nations needing to join the space club and upgrade their independence in space innovation, the organization set up for Bangabandhu Satellite-1 permitted Bangladesh to turn into an undeniable individual from the space local area.



Driving financial development and acknowledgment in Asia

Bangladesh's satellite adds to connecting the computerized partition in both enormous urban communities and provincial regions. These separated towns will step by step profit from every one of the benefits of advanced network. 


Bangabandhu Satellite-1 is a solid image, passing on the country's goal-oriented expectations and prodding the nation's economy, while likewise producing occupations. Indeed, even the smallest statistical data points posted via web-based media have invigorated uncommon energy. The satellite is an incredible driver of monetary development and acknowledgment in Asia, supporting enhancements in various areas across the district, including protection, telemedicine, preparing, online ventures and videoconference administrations.

Crossing over the computerized partition around the world

As reflected in Bangabandhu Satellite-1, Thales Alenia Space has consistently been a key industry accomplice in endeavors to connect the advanced gap all throughout the planet. For instance, we are currently assembling EUTELSAT KONNECT VHTS, a high level extremely high throughput satellite. This very amazing shuttle (in the 500 Gbps class) will actually want to bring rapid web availability even to the most confined regions in Europe, zones where it's troublesome or difficult to set up earthbound foundations.

Thales Alenia Space is additionally prime worker for hire for Indonesia's SATRIA satellite. Additionally attempting to decrease the computerized partition, as Bangabandhu Satellite-1, SATRIA is intended to interface exactly 145,000 unique zones not as of now connected by means of satellite or earthbound organizations, including 90,000 schools, 40,000 medical clinics and public structures, alongside government offices. Likewise an extremely high throughput satellite, SATRIA will assist Indonesia with fostering its advanced capacities. 


Through its distinctive product offerings, remembering demonstrated ability for star groupings, Thales Alenia Space offers uniquely custom fitted arrangements that meet the arising assumptions for the broadcast communications market. From satellites dependent on the Spacebus 4000 B2 stage, appropriate to territorial administrators, to the Spacebus NEO family, the establishment of extremely high throughput satellites (VHTS) that upgrade availability all throughout the planet, and Space Inspire, the most recent all-advanced and reconfigurable in-circle product offering, Thales Alenia Space conveys fitted network and portability answers for administrators from around the world to assist with spanning the computerized partition. 


Today, festivities are all together! Long live Bangabandhu Satellite-1, an exceptionally unique satellite that we are extremely pleased with having made, and one that all Bangladeshis are glad for, since it has turned into an invaluable new piece of their way of life.
