Where will that go? One more question, what will the apoapsis of that rocket? (An estimate?)
Hopefully it will go straight up
Apogee is planned to be around 130 km. But much can change before then.

I felt the need to make this as we really need one! Here we could discuss everything Copenhagen Suborbitals!
Now, I thought the Sapphire launch was epic, I wonder what the next rocket/launch will be, and when Copenhagen Suborbitals will become Copenhagen Orbitals.
Thoughts on Sunday's launch and what the next thing they launch will be?
The next rocket will be the HEAT-2X with active guidance.
Not sure why they didn't use GPS for the parachute deploymentMost GPS system have a limit. They Shut down at a certain acceleration and attitude, we cant make it too easy for the North Koreans
It looked like it was going "Off-on-off...-on" What was that about. Was it planned?No it wasnt planned but expected. Using liquid nitrous oxide and polyurethane has its advantages and disadvantages.
The HEAT2-X will run on a liquid engine using LOX and ethanol.

Because that was the burn countdown, at 0 then engines shut off.
Im sorry but thats not correct. The stream team had some problems, and the countdown clock was one of them.
They had a delay of 1-2 minutes on the sound from Vostok, so its difficult to reset the clock correctly.
But in all I was impressed with the picture quality. This was done by amateurs on a low buget. And still they managed to stream HD from a moving ship over a distance of 23 nautical miles.

No its quite simply to be able to see the rotation, and the spaceship is orange so its easy to find in the water, thats all.
