 Copenhagen, Denmark (SPX) Mar 13, 2009
 Copenhagen Suborbitals have tested their HATV (Hybrid Atmospheric Test Vehicle) flight configured rocket engine in Copenhagen, Denmark. During the 23 seconds burn the hybrid rocket provided 140.000 Ns or app. 90.000 kW, with nitrous oxide and epoxy and hybrid propellant.

Danish based Copenhagen Suborbitals is aiming to develop a one person spacecraft and its booster rocket to launch one person into space on a suborbital trajectory. Our first milestone is to get safe and reliable rocket engines working.

Copenhagen Suborbitals has built two HATV rockets which are ready for launch August 2009 in Denmark. The HATV rocket system can reach an altitude of 15 km and will be testing separation, parachute and telemetry/tracking systems. This launch event will be the first flight demonstrator from Copenhagen Suborbitals.

Future milestones
 Ultimo summer 2009: Drop test of the 200 kg one person spacecraft, to test parachute and earth impact systems.

August 2009: Launch of both HATV rockets in Denmark.

Ultimo 2009: Static test of HEAT rocket (app. 40kN). HEAT will be the launcher for the one person spacecraft.

Summer 2010: Launch of the HEAT rocket to reduced height with boiler plate spacecraft.
