Talibabad Satellite Ground Station (Bengali: তালিবাবাদ ভূ-উপগ্ৰহ কেন্দ্র) is a communications satellite center in Bangladesh. It is the country's second ground station,[1] located in Kaliakair Upazila of Gazipur District.[2] The center was established in Talibabad on 26 January 1982. On 17 July 1999,[3] the Government of Bangladesh allocated 231.685 acres of unused land of the center for the Kaliakair Hi-Tech Park, which reduced the area of the center.[4] In terms of operational scope, Talibabad is considered a standard 'B' type center in Bangladesh.[5]
