Copenhagen Suborbitals: HEAT-2x rocket test on May 17th

Copenhagen Suborbitals announces an upcoming rocket engine test event:

Live test of the HEAT-2X rocket

Saturday May 17th we are testing our biggest rocket to date: The HEAT2X. The rocket will be mounted atop our teststand VTC3 firmly attached to the concrete and the umbilical tower. At 14:00 CEST the engine is ignited for a full duration 90 second burn.

The primary objective of the test is to verify the performance of the TM65LE engine. During the burn we will also measure the forces on the jet vanes exerted by the engines exhaust. These data will be used to calibrate the guidance computer and rudder system correctly before flight.

We invite you to watch the test live at our facility. You can buy tickets here. Copenhagen Suborbitals Supporters have free access – register as a supporter here.

We will provide a live commented broadcast of the preparations and the test itself on Youtube and Livestream. Link to the live video feed will be posted on the website.
