Marcopolo 2 launch sew-on patch, 1990. This patch commemorates the Delta II rocket launch of BSB's second satellite, Marcopolo 2, from Cape Canaveral, on August 17 1990. This second satellite was required by the Independant Broadcasting Authority (IBA) franchise conditions to serve as a back-up for the satellite Marcopolo 1. Unlike the launch of Marcopolo 1 a year earlier, only one person from BSB was sent to Florida to watch the launch, as by this time the money at BSB was drying up.

This second-generation Ford Festiva was built in the US (where it was called the Aspire) in 1995 by the Ford Motor Company before being modified by Walbro Engine Management (also from the US) and Orbital Engine Company in Australia in 1996. This modified version was called the ‘Orbital ECOsport’. The Ford Festiva /Aspire is a front-engine, front-wheel drive subcompact car, a type of car characterised by its compact frame and body design. The car was primarily sold in the US, Japan and Australia between 1986 and 2002. The car has a dark red/maroon paintjob, has two passenger doors, and has both its front and back license plates removed. The car's original 1.3 litre 4-stroke engine was replaced by an experimental orbital 2-stroke engine and was fitted or accompanied with a variety of instruments to measure the car's performance. The instruments include a laptop which would be used to adjust the engine in various ways (this laptop is currently non-functioning), and a passenger-side speedometer. In the back of the car is a frame with a fuel and oil tank installed (both are needed for 2-stroke engines to work). However, the cooling system has been removed at some point before the car was acquired by the SMG, and the car cannot work without this.
