Test: Next Saturday in Odense, our test skydiver takes to the sky.
Goal: 100% rapid reusability of our astronaut™

We have modified the opening sequence on our parachute systems –
designed to deploy more smoothly and with fewer risks of malfunction.
The staged inflation, where the canopy opens in controlled steps rather
than all at once, has been refined with exactly that in mind: a gentler,
more predictable descent, and less that can go wrong on the way down.

A massive thank you to Valkyrie Recovery Systems for donating the Ring
Sail parachute we are flying. Their contribution made this test possible.

Weather dependent – Sunday is our first backup day.

Copenhagen Suborbitals is the world's only crewed, crowdfunded space program. In the future, a volunteer astronaut will fly to space on our home-built rocket. We do this in our spare time, all the donations go to paying our workshop rent and buying materials. We are forever thankful to each of our supporters!
