Bangladesh to launch its own satellite

[TopCat]

Well it will depend on the usage of the satellite. The first one would be a communication satellite, even though the military will be always keeping an eye on these kind of projects. And you know whats next...
At the end they will probably end up with Chinese and we get Friendship price from them too..

Though thats the most logical and cost effective solution, but I know many wont take your suggestion positively in this forum

As many will fear that raw may bug their satelite to intercept all their calls and privacy

We surely will not like any Indian cooperation in launching our satellite. It is only because Indians are small-minded, they will be bullying us forever. If we have to purchase any thing with money, then it should be the best quality that our money can buy.

Ohh you talking about launching.. that we can hire anybody.. ISRO could bid if they wish to...

Exactly!!! I was telling that ISRO may launch yours. And I think in this business the bidding happens the other way. The launcher puts its vehicle and anyone who wants their satrlite launched, approach their govt and buy the payload.

People with better knowledge may correct me if I am wrong.

Mr. eastwatch, I have a very high regard for your posts, for your knowledge in history and all, now this is something which does not meet the standard.

Care to explain how India can bully you for launching the satelite? Once the satelite is launched isnt it your control room in your country that controls it? So once the satelite is on its orbit, how it makes any difference.

About quality, ISRO has one of the best success rate now. what sort of quality we are talking now?

Satellites are launched on the basis of weight..
countries/companies charge on the basis of the their rates which are in terms of $ per kg/pund...
Antrix corp...the international satellite arm of ISRO has the cheapest $/kg rate..so should be the most obvious choice for BD as it doubles up as a CBM too...but if BD wants to spend more money...their choice...
Congratulations on designing a satellite...
which is the space research agency in BD?
like we have ISRO...Pak has SUPARCO...

Bangladesh just announced about sattelite launch and indian did not spare a moment to advertise how ISRO is best choice and cheap etc and derailing the thread. If this is how indians want then same favor should be returned.

Its called SPARRSO - Space Research and Remote Sensing Organization

But does not look like it has achieved much till now, this is def a good beginning.
List of space agencies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The same link also mentions that Pak also has launching capability, Anyone has any idea about any such launches?

Bangladesh to launch satellite into space

In a bid to enter space, the government plans to launch a satellite into the space for development of the country’s telecommunications services.


Post and Telecommunications Minister Razi Uddin Ahmed Raju made the announcement at a press conference at the Press Information Department (PID) auditorium on Thursday.


He said the satellite to be installed in the space would be used only for business purpose.


“The Post and Telecommunications Ministry has already negotiated with some counties like Germany, Russia and China for the launch of the maiden satellite of the country,” he told journalists.


Referring to the satellite of India, the minister said China had given technical support to India in launching nine out of its 13 satellites.

“If we get technical supports from those countries, we will be able to launch satellite into space soon,” he added.

Congratulations Bangladesh! Good news indeed.

 

[Al-zakir]

Iajdani,isro is the cheapest provider of satellite launch on this goddamn planet if you didn't know!.....many western countries opted for india for that very reason and also for its successfull record.......so going by bd economy i think india would be not bad of a choice.....whats your opinion?.....and yes isro should surely bid for this project,it can also help improve indo-bd relations.

Bharati always in the mood to sell their cheap product. Let us worry about what's best for us. Our economy is our concern thus concentrate on yours. We do not need advice from any bharati to decide our fate.


I am also counting on this one. Sooner is better.....

 

[DavyJones]

al-zakir - Bangladesh should do what is in the best interest of Bangladesh. China and Europe have good satellite launch facilities.The EU space agency is used often by India as well.
India will throw it's hat in the mix - consider them as you will consider any other option

Wrong information.
