Copenhagen_Suborbitals Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) The Capsulehttp://www.copenhagensuborbitals.com/tychobrahe.phpThe rocket HEAT X1, from WikiAs far as I remember the rocket itself is around 5.5 meters, and the capsule (link above) is 3.5 meters Both with a diameter of ø64 cmTycho Brahe HEAT-1X-P in flight after first launch on 3 June 2011The business end of HEAT-1X before a ground test 28 February 2010.The actual rocket development has resulted in numerous successful tests of the solid fuel epoxy and the liquid oxidizer nitrous oxide, which was used in their hybrid rocket HATV (Hybrid Atmospheric Test Vehicle). The HATV rocket is only 1/3 size of the final rocket, HEAT.[3] This HEAT rocket (Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter) with liquid oxygen and polyurethane, will carry the MSC (the micro-spacecraft) above the 100 km boundary and into space. The MSC is named after Tycho Brahe, and the combination is known as the HEAT-1X TYCHO BRAHE.Gravity will then pull the MSC back to the atmosphere, where the MSC will land on water using parachutes.[4] The first HATV rocket was tested in a test stand on 8 March 2009.[5]Originally HEAT should have been fueled with paraffin wax but a ground test 28 February 2010 revealed that some of the paraffin wax only partially melted, instead of evaporating. The result was that HEAT-1X had less power than expected. A ground test firing of HEAT-1X-P (P for polyurethane) was conducted 16 May 2010. The results have not yet been released.Stabilization of the rocket is by rollerons, a rather simple mechanism also used by missiles.Detailed photos of the rockethttp://www.online-utility.org/image/gallery.jsp?title=Copenhagen+SuborbitalsOur homepage with lots of technical information.www.Copenhagensuborbitals.comKristian talking about CS on Tedtalk And our Youtube Channel.http://www.youtube.com/user/CphSuborbitals?feature=Our Picasa with lots of pictures.https://picasaweb.google.com/114657365514543526210?noredirect=1&gsessionid=vn8GCTLkBT7pmD6chf1w6QYou can also follow Kristian on Wired.http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/rocketshop/ Edited May 3, 2013 by Copenhagen_Suborbitals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazari1382 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Enjoyed watching the Vice documentary. I went ahead and worked on a mod for the capsule (no IVA). I may be willing to work on the other parts if someone else hasn't started on them.If you want to use an Advanced S.A.S. with it, I recommend the KSPX Micro ASAS. You can fit it to the underside of the top node, like this:download here: http://www./?e60cld9xotao7e6KSPX mod here: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-18-4-kspx-parts-expansion/ Edited May 3, 2013 by Nazari1382 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copenhagen_Suborbitals Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 First test a success! We got around 14 bars with a 1/3 of power, so thats a 3x increase in pressure from the last turbine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copenhagen_Suborbitals Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) A quick update with some picturesDuring the 21-23 of june, and the following weekend we have a launch window for our Sapphire Rocket. Our first with active guidance.We are today pressure testing the oxidizer tank up to 90 bars. Around 1.5 times the actual pressure that will be used when flying it.Our progress with our newest spaceship is also going along very well, as seen on the left side in the picture below.There was a tiny leak, so Claus Nørregaard is just the man to fix the problem.Ad AstraCopenhagensuborbitals.com/ Edited May 10, 2013 by Copenhagen_Suborbitals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to fly over to Denmark one of these days to catch a launch especially once you get the Heat 1600 ready to fly. Ad astra per aspera.BlazingAngel.The best view would actually be from home. We are as you know launching from water. Around 30 km or more from Bornholm, and ESK 138 the area we are launching from is closed for any other ships.

Copenhagen_Suborbitals Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) An artists drawing of our upcoming rocket.It will be 20 meters High, about 20 tons and 1.6 meters in diameter. This baby will use 4 of our TM65 engines and will be able to reach about 400 km. Edited May 14, 2013 by Copenhagen_Suborbitals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
