| Additional information |
Hungary's first cosmonaut, Bertalan Farkas, flew aboard Soyuz 36 in May 1980 as part of the Soviet Intercosmos program — making Hungary the seventh nation to send a citizen into space. The 45th anniversary of that mission falls in 2025, the probable occasion for this issue. Farkas spent just under eight days aboard the Salyut 6 space station alongside Soviet commander Valery Kubasov.
