	Czech Republic didn't exist in 1978. It should be Czechoslovakia (as your source says). Otherwise a good quiz.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I almost guessed Luxembourg but thought it wasn't likely enough

	This is a great quiz, though FWIW, I wouldn't accept Holland for the Netherlands. I would never have guessed that the Luxemburgers put a satellite up.

	Can you make the third column wider? Its need to be longer to fit the satellite names. Also, Holland should NOT be accepted.

	At first, when it accepted USSR I automatically assumed it would also cover Warsaw Pact countries as well; huge mistake. I never would have guessed Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria, and the fact that Luxembourg's launched a satellite astounds me.

	I think I like the name of Poland's satellite the best. It just sounds cool.

	WTF does Luxembourg need a satellite for?

	Can't decide which I like the most, Dong Fang Hong or Intercosmos Kopernicus?

	Luxembourg's satellites are for a multinational European telecommunications company (SES Astra) that is headquartered in Luxembourg. (And I would have never guessed it either.)
