Copenhagen Suborbitals has released a new newsletter: May 25th we test the biggest amateur rocket ever built!

The first item describes an upcoming test:

May 25th we test the biggest amateur rocket ever built!

We are still GO for static testing of the HEAT2X rocket on Sunday 25th 14:00 CEST. The purpose of the test is to verify the performance of the improved TM65LE engine and to calibrate the active guidance system. We will as always broadcast the entire test LIVE on Youtube and Livestream.com. 

This year the event will be commented by science journalist Jan Haugaard and PhD Jonas Bjarnø from DTU Space. If you live close to Copenhagen you can watch the test live.Tickets are available here. As always active supporters of Copenhagen Suborbitals have free access to the event.
