Copenhagen Suborbitals joins KSP

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.

Congratulations on that successful launch!

I missed the launch by 15 minutes...

Pictures are up !

Those are some nice pictures of the launch!

[TMS]

Wow, nice videos.

I notice on the slow-motion clip, the engine kinda stutters into action for the first few seconds. Is that normal for the fuel mix?

Must have been pretty awesome to be there.

[Nimaci]

Excellent footage, thanks CS.

I hadn't noticed the combustion instability on ignition in the livestream, it sounded like a V-1s pulse jet

Did you have some inspiration from the British rocket the black arrow in the styling for the rocket in your sig?( looked all over your site but couldn't find the pic). Here's what the black arrow looked like:

Välkommen.

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

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.

I love the ammount of media you make available on just about everything you do.

Just wondering about the launch of Sapphire - there was quite a bit of instability at ignition. Was this expected or a suprise? You've certainly made leaps on hybrid stability though since HEAT1X, and from others I've spoke to into Hybrid rocketry thats supposedly quite a challenge to get right. Once Sapphire was off the pad though, seemed to burn really well!

It was expected. :/ That's the problem with the propellants they were using on that engine.

IIRC, the next launch will be a HEAT-2X.

I made a little discussion for them here, http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/37593-Copenhagen-Suborbitals-Discussion, they'v responded numerous times there too.

[Rhyunix]

Welcome, true rocketeers! Its addictive we warn you!

[Legendary Emu]

What you guys do is so awesome. You make space-worthy rockets out of parts that might be in a dishwasher or a car.

I have a question; What's it like launching rockets from the ocean?

[areena]

Is there any game on kerbal space programe that we can play while tours .and we can play and easily can take with us any where

[MilkToast]

Greetings.

[iDan122]

Aren't you that guy who tested a pod with a launch escape system? I remember seeing it on YouTube somewhere....

Anyway Scandinavian, Czech and Dutch people are crazy(ships, home-made rocket etc.).

[xtremespino]

I hope your flights to space go better than my first ones in KSP

[M5000]

Wow, I'm late to the party if anything. Can't believe I missed this. Really enjoy the work you guys are doing and what you stand for, really wish there were more rocketry groups like you guys!

Idea for first mission:

stick a kerbal plushy of jeb into the nose cone/capsule and have him take a 'selfy' in space.

[ThinkOutsideTheHangar]

KSP is played by a real rocket scientist? Impressed, yes. Mind blown? Definitely! 0_0

[TheTBBD]

Hello and welcome! It is so cool that you have seen a rocket in real life that close.

[astropapi1]

Anyone have more info on the mini capsule for the upcoming flight? Haven't heard much about it.

Nevermind, I just found the video on your channel. Godspeed, CS!
