   As Bangladesh’s first micro satellite, Bijoy embodies national pride and technological progress. It positions Bangladesh as a leader in space innovation within South Asia, promoting international collaboration and contributing to global space research.

Why Micro Satellite “Bijoy” Matters:

• Strengthening Space Infrastructure: Bijoy is a crucial part of DhumketuX’s vision to develop a robust space infrastructure for Bangladesh. This satellite will enable the country to gather and utilize space-based data for national development.
• A Leap Toward Technological Sovereignty: By developing and launching its own satellites, Bangladesh is moving towards greater self-reliance in space technology, reducing dependence on external partners for data collection and communication services.
• Fostering Global Collaborations: Bijoy opens the door for international partnerships, inviting other countries and institutions to collaborate on space research, data-sharing, and joint missions.

Launch Vehicle: SSLV Nazrul 01
The SSLV Nazrul 01 is Bangladesh’s first small satellite launch vehicle, specifically designed for micro and nano satellites like Bijoy. The vehicle is named in honor of Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh, reflecting the spirit of rebellion and innovation that drives DhumketuX’s aerospace missions. The SSLV Nazrul 01 will play a vital role in launching Bijoy into Low Earth Orbit, marking a new era of independent satellite launches from Bangladesh.

Join the Mission with DhumketuX: As we prepare for the historic launch of Bijoy in 2027, DhumketuX invites collaborators, sponsors, and research institutions to be part of this milestone project. This mission represents a significant leap forward in Bangladesh’s space ambitions, and we are excited to bring our nation closer to the stars.
