A selection of unique objects collected by the Masat-1 team also appeared in MTVA’s (Hungarian public service media) fundraising campaign “It’s good to be good” 2014.
The collection consisted of a booklet about the story of Masat-1, an honorary envelope and Masat-1 stamp with first-day-of-issue postmark, a 1000 HUF face value collector’s coin in honor of the first Hungarian satellite, a bottle of Masat-1 limited edition wine, and a mug. Several objects were signed by the team members.
The unique cooperation and partnership which has helped the first Hungarian satellite come to life is proof that nothing is impossible for a community committed to a good cause. The Masat-1 collection, which was among numerous objects donated by renowned artists, actors and sportsmen, was sold at a price of 100 000 HUF. This year, the campaign supported the Hungarian Interchurch Aid organization.
For the occasion of Masat-1’s last Christmas of functioning, anyone who has internet access can listen to the signals of the satellite as its passes above Budapest:
