Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ICT) Minister Mustafa Jabbar on Wednesday said the launching schedule of Bangladesh first satellite Bangabandhu-1 might be deferred again.
The Minister came up with the information at a roundtable discussion title ‘Bangabandhu Satellite: Possibility in Space’.
