Watch and discuss live as SpaceX launches their first Block 5 Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Bagabandhu 1 (BD-1) satellite into geostationary trasfer orbit for Bangladesh.
This mission will feature the first produced Falcon 9 v1.2 Block 5 first stage. It will include many upgrades/changes, ranging from retractable landing legs, unpainted interstage, raceways and landing legs, improved TPS and increased thrust. The Falcon 9 Block 5 first stage booster will attempt a landing at sea on the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS) "Of Course I Still Love You" (OCISLY).
The Bangabandhu 1 (BD-1) satellite is the first geostationary communications satellite for Bangladesh. The satellite is to be located at 119.1° East longitude slot in geostationary orbit, where it will provide service to Bangladesh and neighboring countries. The satellite is built by Thales Aleinia Space and based on the Spacebus 4000B2 platform. It weighs 3500 kg and is fitted with Ku-Band and C-Band transponders. The major applications for this spacecraft include DTH, very small aperture terminal communications, backhaul and trunking, network restoration, and disaster preparedness and relief.
