[🇧🇩] Space Program in Bangladesh

[Sharma Ji]

Name should be shortened to BDSat or something similar.

how's BBSat for something similar ?

BB BangaBandhu

Well I don't know if we as a country are going to land a rover at some point on a space object (or collaborate with another country), but the rover research is in full swing at all universities. All universities in Bangladesh with this sort of research program are using advanced additive 3D printing (wheels) and Laser cutters (carcass assembly).

This rover is from UIU Dhaka Campus, there are other older videos in the channel.

withstanding the elements, how long you can keep it going with proper transmission to earth or sat based comms.

eventually they run out of battery or other problems, like the Mars rover from NASA

I dont get this whole space exploration obsession thing but, we still have much to learn about our oceans here, about the south pole.. log Mars ki baat kar re..

Bangabandhu's (or Hasina's) name will not be used to name anything further in Bangladesh.

They will have to 3D print with much tougher, newer engineering plastics like PVDF, and use Kynar coatings etc. There have been some phenomenal developments in this area.

Battery tech is also changing rapidly. LiPoly or Li-Ion is no longer cutting edge.

What about the existing ones, I'm guessing BB is like the Ghandys here.. har doosra airport, station, this that institute etc etc.. sab kuch Gandhi (the la familia, not Mohandas)

Team Ababil, a group of students from Aviation and Aerospace University, Bangladesh (AAUB), has recently secured sixth place globally in the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) phase of the CanSat Competition 2025, organized by the American Astronautical Society (AAS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

They are the first Bangladeshi team to qualify for the next phase, ranking first nationally and earning a spot among the top 40 teams worldwide, which includes 20 from the USA and 20 from other countries.

The CanSat Competition challenges university teams to design and build a can-sized satellite capable of collecting environmental data, deploying an autogyro and parachute descent system, and transmitting real-time telemetry to a ground station.

Team Ababil — led by Muhtasim Redwan and comprising Benzir Ahammed, Shafeen Ahmed, Moontaha Morshed, Md. Rafi, Md. Mahdi Kamal Alif, Md. Anwarul Islam Aion, and Md. Saymum Islam Siyam, alongside faculty advisor Md. Samin Rahman — developed an innovative design featuring a precise descent control system, sensor integration, and efficient power management. Their efforts earned them an impressive 98.2% score in the PDR phase, securing their place in the global top six.

While the team has received support from their university and the Bangladesh Air Force, they are seeking sponsorships and funding to cover material costs and travel expenses for the upcoming launch event.

Having cleared the selection round, Team Ababil will now compete in the final launch phase from June 5 to 8, 2025, in Virginia, USA. This stage will require them to deploy and operate their satellite in real-world conditions.​

Existing installations named under any of Sheikh Hasina, her family members or her father's name are being slowly changed.

There will be not trace of Hasina left after Bangladesh govt. is done (except for looted wealth sitting in S'pore, Swiss and Dubai banks which will be repatriated eventually).

That remains a popular mandate.

I wish for us to do that to the Gandys

inshallah one day Biancarlo ki bras le ke our sanghis will be dancing around !
