Millionaire satellite goes up with Senhor do Bonfim ribbon

In the 1980s, Brazil needed its own satellites, in order to dispense with renting from foreigners. The Brasilsat A1, launched in 1985, transmitted signals to our farthest corners. New satellite would soon retransmit international signals.

Walk with faith I'll go / That faith doesn't usually beech. Gilberto Gil's verses are tailor-made for Brasilsat A2.

On March 28, 1986, launched from a space base in French Guiana, it took to the skies, thwarting fearful technicians. The million-dollar engine left without insurance; a breakdown would mean enormous damage. “Instead of insurance, put a ribbon of Senhor do Bonfim, everything will be solved”, said the Minister of Communications Antonio Carlos Magalhães. And the tape went to the base. It worked out. The satellite has operated for over 18 years, 10 longer than predicted.
