Danish Amateur Rocket Test Was a Success

Posted by Soulskill on from the congratulations-to-all dept.

Svippy writes "At 16:32 CEST, the amateur-built Danish rocket 'Tycho Brahe' successfully made it up and down again (Danish link)." Here's an English translation via Google Translate. The article includes a video of the launch, which is a mix of Danish media coverage and English launch chatter.

    I don't think you know what "exceeding the goal" means. This wasn't expected to be a perfect, smooth flight with a soft landing - it was the very first flight of an incomplete version of an all new design, and the succes criterium was simply "getting liftoff". And by that standard, it was a huge success!
