[Gerald]

Well,good luck :DL

[Oberon]

[Oberon]

[Oberon]

Are you there, the continuous updating...:DL

I wish! No, I'm watching the livestream from Mission Control that McBeck is working hard on and doing a great job.

[Oberon]

There's an excellent link to a TV2 stream there too which is from a helicopter orbiting the launch pad. Fifteen minutes to go all being well. :salute:

Go go!

[Oberon]

Launch put back by fifteen minutes. Now 15:45 CEST. The TV2 helo looks like it just repositioned, so it's probably had to back out of the launch area for safety reasons during the last minutes.

Go go! Thanks,I got it :up:

[Penguin]

Now Copenhagen says 16 o'clock launch time.

http://sputnik.tv2.dk/play/event/820/

Go go!

Does this work for you guys? Can't stream it, but this could be my 3rd world 2Mbit connection...:cry:

[Tchocky]

Lucky :)

My live feed just cut out, ack ack!

EDIT - Penguin, getting the same problem

[Oberon]

All feeds working good for me. Now have sound in one of the Mission Control streams too. Love the camera on the side of the rocket. Looking forward to seeing the footage from that on launch. :rock:

[Penguin]

oh yes, the cam on the side looks really Apollo-ish! :up:

can somebody silence the crying kid? :x

@Vendor: memory is fine, downstream is at only about 60kb/s...

[McBeck]

This is SOOOO excisting!!!!

[Gerald]

@Vendor: memory is fine, downstream is at only about 60kb/s... 60kb/s...tricky :hmm2:

[Tchocky]

I guess the TV2 feed may be overloaded, watching Mission Control!

[Penguin]

ahh, launch at 16:15...
Rocket's fueled and ready! :up:

Good luck to McBeck and the other guys involved!

[Penguin]

The curtrent weather at Bornholm: http://www.bornholm.tv/

looking good, wind at only 1.4 m/s. The clouds start at 3400 meters, so we'll definitely see some launch pictures filmed from the ground

[Gerald]

I'ts looking good, :DL

[Dan D]

That is 17: xx in Germany or am I wrong, different time zone?

[Oberon]

That is 17: xx in Germany or am I wrong, different time zone?

Same timezone I think.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Which stream you guys watching? I can get the raketvenner and livestreaming ones but nothing from tv2?

Give us a wave McBeck! :D

[Penguin]

That is 17: xx in Germany or am I wrong, different time zone?

we're in the same zone, UTC + 2 :03:
launch wiull now be at 16:30 - no of the news channels here doews a live report :( - but did you know that only 1% pay taxes in Pakistan? :DL That's on our news atm...

[Oberon]

:har: I know where all our bank managers will be moving then.

I'm watching both Mission Control and TV2, both are working fine for me.

We're getting close, near to the Go/No Go procedure. :cool:

[Gerald]

Same timezone I think. Obi, you know that it is grounded ... in the ongoing process .... if you had the intention to see the details ..... then launching into.....:D

[Penguin]

Give us a wave McBeck! :D

I can only get mission control (raketvenner)

There is also one from tv bornholm: http://www.tv2bornholm.dk/live/ - but they also seem to be currently offline

just heard that they will start transmitting

[Oberon]

Yeah, the TV2 helo is refueling, so the cameras have been on a nearby naval vessel.

Countdown in six minutes I just heard someone say.

Go / No-Go has started!! :D

Countdown started!

Ok. Then I can't leave my desk now :-)

[Herr-Berbunch]

Faulty hair drier again? :hmmm:

[Oberon]

Auto-sequencer didn't engage on first try. Now it's go. T-30 secs!!

[Oberon]

LAUNCH!!!!!

[Tchocky]

WOOOOO :yeah::yeah:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Woo Hoo :woot:

[Penguin]

Yiehaa! :woot:

[razark]

:up:

[Oberon]

Separation is good.

[Oberon]

Is the chute working alright? :hmmm:

[Gerald]

Great...good speed, :DL

[Herr-Berbunch]

Is the chute working alright? :hmmm:

Didn't look great from here :nope:

Not a big splash though!

[Oberon]

Ah, the chutes failed, but they did actually launch, so that's something. Just means it's going to be a hard impact. :doh:

Well, half-way there...

Video feed kept dropping, saw it leave the pad, but that was about it.

[Oberon]

Aaaand, splashdown. :yeah: Didn't look like too hard a landing so hopefully it'll all be recoverable. Yes, yes she is floating. Recovery will be good! :yeah:

[Oberon]

Great work all involved at Copenhagen Suborbitals. I hope the data from this launch forwards the goal of the project greatly. I do ponder what the G forces on the dummy at take-off were, that was a very fast launch. :salute:

[Penguin]

Yes the start looked pretty fast, much like a V2 - wait a minute, this in combination with the fact that the rocket was launched from Bornholm, very close to Sweden: Could this be a cover-up for the Danish plans to reconquest Scania? :o
Vendor, stay alert! ;)

Vendor, stay alert! ;) Danes ... might want to run with their tricks, but not, thanks for good advice, :03:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Once a lert, always a lert.


:D

[krashkart]

I missed it. :nope:

[the_tyrant]

Was stuck in class:nope:

I do have a question though, what was the scope of today's launch?
to send it into orbit?

[Gerald]

:rock:

[Penguin]

Here is the video of the launch, from TV2, that some us had problems to access via livestream. They filmed the launch from tv with a webcam at åhus control, so we were able to see it this way. Thsi has of course got much better vid and audio quality:

@tyrant: check out the title of the thread: suborbital...
the first post has links to the project and its purpose

[krashkart]

Thank you Penguin. I'll be sure to send some kippers to your brethren in Antarctica. :salute:

[McBeck]
