@jesmanrec They had a problem with the stability, so it flew quite a bit horisontal. Therefore they had to shut down the engine after 16 seconds, because the rocket was leaving the designated area. This also meant, that the rocket was traveling about 600 km/h when they had to deploy the parachutes. But for a first launch, i would say that this is very good.
Congratulations . especially for the excellent camera-work ! :o) [soundwise, the video (and the project) might win from having an english comment on the purpose and the financing of the mission ;o]
@h5y Apparently you're right ;-). Parachute was ok. It broke because it was opened at supersonic velocity in the abortion command at 2.5Km height. It shouldn't have broken in normal conditions, but those are bad news to the amateur astronaut as a leak in the emergency plan. There's still a need for a improvement in that scenario.
Acceleration at the launch looks pretty high. I'm not sure that this rocket can be approved for the manned flight. Anyway, a great achievement, congrats all involved.
This rocket is build with materials that can be bought at any supermarket or hardwarestore in Denmark. The budget of this program is roughly 60.000 USD per year including everything, so please do not tell me that there isnt anything new about it. Imagine what these guys could do with NASA's budget....
@WackerDK Yes...gyro stabilised, but completely unable to track the rocket in flight!!! An inept decision at best... who decided to use such unsuitable kit to cover a rocket launch? They are SUPPOSED to go UP...so why use a camera that can't track it?? I'm amazed that there seems to be no video record of the whole flight...I would have thought that the group themselves would have had to have such a record.
@KageStodder jesus, its just as well it was unmanned... it was rocking like a pendulum the whole way up... that'd have magnified the g-forces by about 2 or 3 and make it non-survivable... nice rocket all the same
I'm not sure what these guys were thinking, but having the astronaut stand in the cockpit seems to be a bad idea. There is a reason why NASA has them lie down; the g forces are going to be improbable to withstand, especially standing.
@smarkendotdk Sorry, I was only joking ;) In all seriousness though, I'm surprised that it's launched from a floating (unstable) platform. Seems like a lot of chaos is thrown into the mix by doing that. Wait until it's point up properly then press go!
@eraserstp Acceleration was 3,6G - I guess you are fooled by optical illusions. Maybe you are compareing the 9 meter tall HEAT 1X-Tycho Brahe against the much higher space shuttles, and come to to the conclusion that HEAT 1X-Tycho Brahe has a high accceleration.
What?? so theres one thing they have to film and he loses sight of it, funny how they switch to cam attached to rocket, they all act like they cant see it.
They did say go ahead. US say nothing because it is not US territory, and Interpol is also saying nothing - rockets are not a police thing There are no laws about building rockets in Denmark, so it is legal CS is using the NATO test area ESD 139. They are assigned that area by the Danish Navy by a simple phone call. Entering the test area is at own risk - includes ships and airplanes CS are under the export law controlled by the danish secret service The export law is like the US export law
How come this is allowed by strings of no-say authorities ? I see it , but i can't believe that Danish local, provincial, national, military authorities and nato, US, Interpol, etc. says "yeah sure, go ahead, we have absolutely no suspicion that this would be abused by future muslim students to drop a lethal agent or bomb in a populated area ". It is too easy for any authority to just say "no". How did you pull this off ?

That was the best visual demonstration of POGO type oscillation I have ever seen.
Super. Congratulations boys. We can be proud that we in this small country has a few enthusiasts like you to write world history.
Thanks for Uploading - will link to this, a lot was a sleep on the other side of the globe.
Can't believe how calm the guy inside sounds!
Great!!! I'm proud of being a donor. It's the best investment I've done in a long time. Well done!!! Now we have to improve the parachute system.
CONGRATULATIONS! IT'S FIRST REAL WIN! Parachute system will be new and OK before next start, I am sure!
Great job guys, I donated too and I do EXPECT alot of money back! Donations arent free after all. I do expect to make millions off of this.
I hope the passenger is OK. All my thoughts to this great man.

Frakking fantastic
Awesome camera-work
good job guys!
That flew well.
@RubberduckLV1 It was a local tvstation news chopper, and the camera was mounted on the bottom of the choppa
GO GO GO!
Can't wait for manned flight :)
Soon!
@NTG56 Hey as far as I know it hit an altitude of 8.3km. Their goal was to reach about 15km but it's still a victory (:
These guys are like the Rocket Boys. Homer Hickam would be proud
Great to see this finally work! Does anyone know if the rocket went as high as planned?
That was awesome!
I for one welcome our new Viking Space Lords.
Congratulations!, but... what about the parachute?. I think they must to improve the recovery system.

@larstheu Thanks for the clarification.
Nice projekt
That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind. :facepalm:

NASA overdoes stuff. they spend millions on things that can be done with weather balloons.
Does it have a drogue chute or reefing system? Was the wobbling on launch due to the control system or the launch platform?
not sure but in the end there was two object flying left to right in the background quite fast
@realisticHomeboy
Nice! So if my math is right, from the timestamps in the video, it averaged about 322 mph!
@0:53 "Hvor svært kan det være?" In english "How hard can it be?" As clarkson would have said it.
its fun!

@nickman011 Nope this was an unmanned test flight
@ErikBramsen
God ide, jeg har nogle ideer til mål i mellemøsten :)
VIKINGS IN SPACE!

aaaah hattar er genialt!!! :D
tillukku tit! ;)
@Spinnixx they used an old lady, that was close to death, since she was gonna die anyhow, it was really no big loss.
мы в детстве такие запускали ...
fantastisk
0:37 for quick replay of launch :)

Too bad about the 'chute ribboning. Great shot all the same. As they note in Danish, good proof of concept.
It's only for the fun of it they do it!

@neocon70 Their goal is to send a manned craft on a suborbital flight out in space.
@FreshPotatoMafia That's like saying,
"Our Goal is to build an affordably family car"
"Didn't Henry Ford Already do that?"
What?? so theres one thing they have to film and he loses sight of it, funny how they switch to cam attached to rocket, they all act like they cant see it.
@Spinnixx RIP that brave crash test dummy...
@neocon70 The purpose is to be alive!
@neocon70 open source space travel
Waow.
@Stickcult Why would you ever call someone, who is according to you dead, a dummy? You sir should be ashamed. R.I.P though.
Все же они его запустили! Пошел донатить.
yeah why do anything, lets just sit still and watch someone better than us!!!!
oh wait, then we would still be in the stone age.
was there a man in it
@neocon70
science.
Why, whats wrong with it :)
나의 이름은 김동수 한국에서 왔습니다. 저는 코펜하겐 서브오비탈을 한국에 지점을 만들어서 행성 달이나 행성 화성에 가고 싶습니다. 저를 도와주세요!!!

How did you pull this off ?
@FreshPotatoMafia Yes, they did. But Copenhagen Suborbitals are amateurs that are doing this with only donations.
Wiie
this is the largest amateur rocket that launched ever.
LAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to everyone except whoever was responsible for the parachute recovery system
Or was it a woman?
