State Minister for Information and Communication Technology Zuneid Ahmed Palak told bdnews24.com, "It took two minutes before launch, it went to the computer control.

"Problems may have been postponed due to some problems. Tomorrow is scheduled to resume at the same time. "

Tarana Halim, who was present there, told bdnews24.com, "The moment of launch has been fixed tomorrow."

The news agency Reuters said the satellite launch was delayed by 24 hours. Could not identify what went wrong.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's son and her information technology adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy were present at the Kennedy Space Center to see the launch.

Technology expert Jay wrote on his Facebook, "The last minute of the launch is completely controlled through computers. As a computer, if something is found out of normal, it suspends the launch process. It's closed just 42 seconds before launch today.

"SpaceX will examine everything again and try to launch again at the same time tomorrow."

There is no risk to rocket launch, so it is very normal to say that such a thing is 'very normal'.

BTRC head Shahjahan Mahmood, also at Kennedy Space Center, told bdnews24.com, "There are many incidents, where the launch has to be postponed even at the very end of Count Dawn."

The US-based private aerospace research company, SpaceX, is launching this satellite, which is named after Father of the Nation, created by French institution Toulas Elinia Space.

SpaceX said on their website that the new timeline for the launch was scheduled between 2-14hrs and 4am 21pm on Friday.

The country's first commercially artificial satellite Bangabandhu-1 launched satellite launches directly through the Internet in the early hours, many were on the monitor in monitors, many were on television in front of television.

Soon after the launch pad, the Stage-1 was going to start rising up the rocket, with the strong force. After a period of time, the rocket stage 1 was about to fall down.

It was supposed to be launched at Stage 2 After 35 thousand 700 kilometers, rocket stage 2 could be opened. Re-usable Stage-1 is about to return to the Earth, and Stage-2 is going to take the satellite to a specific distance and go into space.

But it has been seen that the activities stopped before the launch; As a result, the people staying awake in TV or computer have to be somewhat frustrated.

The concerned people said that after reaching the space, Bangabandhu-1 will have to take full control of the satellite for almost a month. After finishing technical matters, it will take another month to come under the control of Bangladesh, BTRC said.

The Ground Station is built in Joydebpur of Gazipur for Satara and Bangabandhu at Batbunia.

After the satellite was released in space, the initial control would go to the United States, Italy and Korea's three ground stations.

Project Director. Mezbahujjjaman said that the satellite will be installed in its own orbital (orbital slot 119.1 east longitude) by controlling the satellite from these three stations. After the satellite is fully operational, its control will take another month to be transferred to the Ground Station of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has been working on the study of broadcasting and natural disasters by hiring foreign satellites; At present, the foreign satellite receipts are worth 14 million dollars to Bangladesh.

With the advancement of the economy, so the initiative to send this artificial satellite at the cost of Taka 3 billion was taken. The government hopes that after the launch of its own communications satellite, Bangladesh will be able to survive the dependence of the fare and save money.

Earlier, in 2017, a nano satellite named Brac Anbesa was sent to the space station of the BRAC University of Bangladesh. It was just one kilogram of weight. On the contrary, the launching mass of Bangabandhu-1 is about 3,500 kg.

State Minister of Information Technology, Polak said in an article that this communication satellite is essentially available for three types of services. These are Broadcast, Telecommunication and Data Communications.

Television channels and radios that are currently in Bangladesh, are basically broadcasting based on satellite of another country.

It is being said by the government that there will be 40 transponders in Bangabandhu satellite, 20 of which will be kept for use in Bangladesh and foreign currency will be possible by renting the rest. In this regard, experts from Nepal, Myanmar and Bhutan see the possibility of earning around five crore taka with satellite services.

Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Department of BRAC University, Khalilur Rahman told bdnews24.com that Bangabandhu satellites will be located at the top of Indonesia.
