Copenhagen Suborbitals - Engine Test Live Feed

[Ghostchrome]

I thought that I'd share this with you guys because I think privately funded space exploration is pretty freakin' cool. I've been following Copenhagen Suborbitals for a while now, but just saw that they've got a live feed of an engine test going going today, 7pm Copenhagen time (less than an hour from this post).

More info on Copenhagen Suborbitals from their wesite:

Copenhagen Suborbitals is a suborbital space endeavor, based entirely on private donaters, sponsors and part time specialists

Our mission is to launch human beings into space on privately build rockets and spacecrafts.

The project is both open source and non-profit in order to inspire as many people as possible, and to envolve relevant partners and their expertise.

We aim to show the world that human space flight can be different from the usual expensive and government controlled project.

We are working fulltime to develop a series of suborbital space vehicles - designed to pave the way for manned space flight on a micro size spacecraft.

The mission has a 100% peacefull purpose and is not in any way involved in carrying explosive, nuclear, biological and chemical payloads.

We intend to share all our techninal information as much as possible, within the laws of EU-export control.

Very very cool! I made it in early enough to catch the live test.

That was pretty cool. Apparently it was a new engine design that they were testing. I can't wait until they get the live stream going for a real launch.
