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

In this video we go through the first tests of our long seam welder which will enable home built propellant tanks for our crewed, crowdfunded Spica rocket. It is going to be by far the biggest homemade rocket in the world, so semi-automating some of the welding process will help us drive the production time and costs down. We also test a small scale model of our crewed space capsule and show off the cool bit of engineering that is a DIY rocket engine gimbal.
