I guess Copenhagen Suborbitals was founded on dreams and the joy of solving difficult tasks however irrelevant it may seem. The commonality of everyone working this project (and supporting it) is the passion for technology, team work and problem solving.

For me personally, one of the most important part of this project is aesthetics. The images and videos produced are a direct result of tests or ambitions and serve the purpose of “paying” back supporters and keeping ourselves reminded what we are supposed to do and how cool it will be.

Copenhagen Suborbitals are not hiring any people but expands when it serves the purpose or when the right person shows up. This week Sylvester has begun a 6 months internship as an engineer and is already working hard on rocket engines and capsule systems.

Some time ago I was contacted by conceptual artist Carsten Brandt who does magic with a Wacom-pad and I had no hesitation in opening the doors and letting him go crazy with nice illustrations of our future-to-come systems and missions. Such illustrations are important. We need to visualize what this is all about and it may be the best way to show the world our plans.

Carsten has just created this nice illustration of Tycho Deep Space II during splashdown. Hopefully we will see this happening soon – for real.

Needless to say, Carsten has been struck by rocket fever and is no longer satisfied with doing only illustrations. Now, he wants to weld and build and are getting his hands dirty in the process of building TM65 engines and HEAT1600 propellant tanks.

For some reason, this change in behavior seems to hit everyone joining our project.

Welcome guys!
