There is a lot of debate on the issue of providing adequate information from Bangabandhu satellite launch and due to the lack of proper coverage of those information. Confusion has happened. In particular, some confusion was made on the work of the first Bangladeshi artificial satellite Bangabandhu Satellite-1 (BS-1). Many BS-1s wanted to do all types of satellites because they did not have any idea about different satellites. The satellite designed for communication purposes will do the work of communication. Weather forecasts, geological surveys, photographs, map-making, and climate change surveys are done by different satellites. In this context, we have been trying to negotiate the BS-1 capabilities in technical terms.
The use of Transponders for the discussion of BS-1 revenue earnings is remarkable. First of all, learn a little about Transponders.
Transceiver, Repeater, and Transponders in communication
Transponder (transmitter-rescondor) receives signals from any source and amplified them or amplified them back in such a way that a large number of customers may receive that signal or signal. Transponders are much like a TV or radio relay station, which simultaneously broadcast many channels. In Satellite Communications, a group of transponders transmits a different frequency set from Earth to the sub-satellite link and takes a wave band in the down link to the Earth. Depending on what work is being given, Transponders can combine different types of work. For example: Location service, distance measurement works.
Tech Properties of Bangabandhu Satellite-1
The Thales Alenia Space Company was responsible for the preparation, preparation, examination and launch of the technical design of Bangabandhu Satellite. Its lifetime is 15 years and the main work is TV broadcast, VSAT and DTH.
The BS-1 satellite is equipped with 26 KW bands and 14 C band transponders, from the position of 119.11 East longitude orbit. Under the KY band, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Indonesia region, along with its water resources in the Bay of Bengal. All these areas will be covered under the C band. It is to be noted that since Bangladesh is located at 90.44, it is not possible to cover the land and water bounds of the geographical satellites (optimum coverage) in the orbit of 119.2 East longitude (optimum coverage); Rather, the Indo-Filipino region will get its high quality.
According to Thales, BS-1 can provide the following threshold services subject to the completion of In-Orbit Test (IOT):
