Magyarsat

During 1993-1994 Hungary and Israel discussed the feasibility of having an Israeli AMOS-class spacecraft serve as the first Hungarian GEO communications satellite. Named Magyarsat, the satellite would be co-located with AMOS 1 at 4 degrees W, perhaps as early as 1998. A detailed agreement for full or partial use of the spacecraft telecommunications capacity was expected in 1995 (Reference 90).
