Final release : HEAT 1XP static booster test 16 May 2010

Copenhagen Suborbitals presents:

Hiqh quality compilation with all available video footage from succesful booster test on May 16, 2010. High def ramp views begins at 1:24; Slow-motion replay at 3:44.

Supplementary camera footage very kindly provided by test observers Jonathan Jørgensen and Thomas Blume (in video montage erroneously credited as Anders Blume.)

Preliminary analysis suggests observed oscillations are due to insufficient pressure drop in injector. The overall performance of the booster was as hoped, and we expect no further static tests before scheduled first flight in late August 2010 with micro-spacecraft Tycho Brahe attached.

A homebuilt manned spacecraft and booster on a shoestring budget? I didn't think it could be done, but it looks like you guys might pull this off.
