Copenhagen Suborbitals joins KSP

[3_bit]

I'm on the livestream for Sapphires launch, can't wait for the livestream start in 7 minutes.

[Xeutack]

Anybody else having trouble with the stream?

When is the live stream supposed to start? I think I read at T -2 hours, but it hasn't started yet

There is also this neat website to see where ships are, you can just search for sputnik, and you'll see where it is http://marinetraffic.com/ais

Maybe the stream starts when sputnik has arrived?

EDIT: Ah, nevermind, the stream is online, both here:

[Boffinbox]

T-7m

(one of the few rocket launches we're all hoping DOESN'T go kerbal )

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

Right now we are waiting for the ATC AIR at Malmø to give us the clear to launch

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

Peter needs to be transfered to Hjortø, the danish "coast guard" ship to be able to talk with ATC. There seems to be some misunderstanding with them.

I didn't realize you guys were updating status here. Why is the clock back at 10 and not holding at 1:33?

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

We dont have a specific launch time, so we are just holding at 10.

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

In a short time we will do the GO NOGO from all, but wer are still waiting from ATC

[TMS]

Question for the team... will you be forced to change your name if you achieve your long-term goal of getting a human into orbit?

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

No why should we? Our goal is exactly that so the name fits

Ups read that wrong. No we wont get anyone into orbit anytime soon, so I dont think we will change it. Our plan is Suborbital, not orbit

Honestly I'm Curious, How hard was it to Get the company off the ground?

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

Its not a company, so not at all.

Have you guys ever thought of doing commercial payloads to help fund other scientific endeavors?

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

We have thought about lauching small cubesats, or other payloads up, but not comercial. Remember CS is not about profits nor is it a company.

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

Airspace will be closed down at 12:40 CET

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

We think we will launch in 15 minutes. Cross your fingers

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

Sputnik crew is leaving now.

Rocket is armed and ready.

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

T -10 minutes

[1001sd]

WOO!! Good luck, guys!

*watching the stream, and have been doing it for the last two hours"

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

Padleader is leaving sputnik now. Everyone has now left sputnik
