The first satellite in Bangladesh started in 2007. At that time Bangladesh requested the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a UN agency based in the United Nations to give orbit orbit in the space of 102 degrees East longitude. But 20 countries protested against the petition. The issue of this objection is not yet resolved. Then in 2013, the current orbit of the Bangabandhu-1 satellite was purchased from Russia's Intercaptanak. Bangladesh has been elected to the Council of ITU, and has not been able to bring its own orbit yet.
According to the United Nations Office of the United States Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOSSA), until 2017, there were 4,635 satellite satellites in space. The number of satellites is growing at 8 to 10 percent per year. The type of work of these satellites is different. The Bangabandhu-1 satellite will be used for various types of space communication. Such satellites are called 'Geostationary Communication Satellite'. With the rotation of the Earth, the satellite is moving in space.
Currently there are around 30 satellite television channels in the country. These channels are being operated with satellite rentals from different countries of the world including Singaporeans. In all, the cost of channels for satellite rentals is $ 2 million or about 17 billion taka. When the Bangabandhu satellite is launched, the satellite rental money will be left from the country. Then there will be an opportunity to earn foreign currency by paying a satellite transporter or capacity for another country. 20 satellites in 40 satellites of this satellite will be kept for rent.
