On Sunday 4 June, Bangladesh became a milestone of success. Still did not light the morning light. A cargo rocket on the midnight at 3:30 pm will leave the space of the first Nano satellite 'BRAC Innesh' made in Bangladesh. The nano satellite, which is 10 centimeters cubic in size and one kilo weight, was sent through SpaceX and space agency NSA CRS-11 in SpaceX.
"We will be launching the Falcon 9 rocket at 5.00pm in the eastern coastal local time from the US Kennedy Space Center in Florida," said a NASA statement before leaving the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. '
BRAC University's Head of Communications of Bangladesh Sohel Iqbal said on Sunday afternoon, "BRAC Anbesa" will be reached on Monday (today) at the International Space Center (ISS) in space. From there to the end of June or in the first week of July will be placed in the orbit. The orbit will be 400 kilometers above. Data will be sent from this nano satellite after setting up orbit. Data will be received from the ground station located on the rooftop of Mohakhali campus of BRAC University in Bangladesh.
BRAC has worked on Ground Station and Legal Issue of Anbesa. Mozammel Haque Sourav He said, the first data received from 'BRAC Anbesa' is the national anthem of Bangladesh. It will be heard from any country on the special day through the Ham Radio. This satellite has been sent to ISS through a space cargo.
Sourav said the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs has proposed a project in 2009 to train emerging countries to create Nano satellites; In 2013 the implementation of this project started. The Kushu Institute of Technology (Kietak) of Japan was chosen as the base of this project. Under this project, four countries have created their own satellites from this organization.
Earlier, a statement issued by Bangladesh's BRAC Anbesa said, "The update will be made informally after reaching the International Space Center and installing the Nano Satellite in orbit. '
Raihana Shams Islam, Abdullah Hill Kafi and Maisun Ibn Monwar are the three craftsmen to create the Nano satellite. Three have graduated from Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) from BRAC University. Today they are doing masters in Japan. After exposing the satellite yesterday, they expressed excitement at the video post. "It will be placed in orbit after reaching the ISS," Maisun said in the video. Then we start getting the signal from it and the whole work will be done. '
It is known that the satellite was supposed to be exposed to the ISS on June 2. Prior to this, at a ceremony in Japan in February, BRAC University Vice-Chancellor Prof Syed Saad Andalib officially took the Nano satellite from the Kyushu Institute of Technology. The same event was handed over to Space Aerospace exploration agency near Japan Aerospace Agency.
The three students of the BRAC University in Japan have made all the preparations for designing, collecting materials, and then making nano satellites. On the other hand, six students started work in Ground Station where later two more students joined. They are Mohammad Sourav, Vijay Talukder, Ainul Huda, Sanand Chow, Jamil Arifin, Arafat Haque, Md. Shakeeluzzaman and Adnan Sabbir Two teachers of BRAC University gave guidance to the Ground station team as advisers. They are Associate Professor. Khalilur Rahman and Assistant Professor. Md. Hasanuzzaman Sea.
BRAC University's Architecture Department and BRAC Construction Department assist students in organizing antennas, towers and building stations. Using satellite tracking software, this ground station has already received weather satellites such as the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOA) 'NOAA-18' and 'NO-19' and the receipt of various nanotechnology satellites.
This nano satellite will take 90 minutes to circulate around the globe. It will fly four to six times a day on Bangladesh. Satellite will send high quality photos for research on various topics. One of the tasks that will be researched and monitored on space matters.
On May 25, the ground station was inaugurated on the rooftop of the 4th building of the Mohakhali campus of BRAC University. BRAC chairperson and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of BRAC University, Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, inaugurated the program.
Researchers at BRAC University will use the information-data from Nanotechnology in their research and teaching activities. Creating skilled manpower in space research and satellite communications is also one of the main objectives of establishing this ground station, the concerned people said.
