Copenhagen Suborbitals Launch of LES

"Rocket has flown but payload was largely lost" according to the ticker on the livestream at the moment.

A shame if the case, but space flight is full of setbacks, and CSO has done bloody well so far.

That was the SMARAGD rocket launched a few weeks ago to test a 2 stage rocket

The LES setup (Launch Escape System) is being tested tomorrow at app 10:00 CET (Danish time)

Aaah, gotcha. I did find it odd that I'd seen nothing mentioned on their facebook page. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the LES test tomorrow then.
