It was launched on a Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station on 3 June 2017, after which it was released from the Kibō module.

This led to the collaborative building of the first experimental university-made nano-satellite of Bangladesh, designed, developed and assembled by three Bangladeshi students at the Kyushu Institute of Technology.

[8] The two-year period spanning the development, construction, launch and operation of the satellites engaged three university students from each of the five participating countries.

The satellite was carried in a Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket, launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, LC-39A.
