Copenhagen Suborbitals becomes the first official Friend of CSTART
Today, Peter Madsen of Copenhagen Suborbitals, a Denmark-based manned suborbital space project with an open source philosophy, accepted an offer to become a Friend of CSTART. This makes Copenhagen Suborbital the first official participant in our Friends of CSTART program! The program is intended to help foster a sense of community between open source space projects and to encourage close sharing of ideas and experience, as well as raising awareness and attracting new members to these projects. The Copenhagen team has had a lot of fantastic success test firing simple-to-build hybrid rocket engines, much like those we hope to use in our projects, so we are looking forward to a very profitable working relationship with them.
Not only have Copenhagen Suborbitals become a Friend of CSTART, but they have made an extremely generous offer for someone from CSTART to visit their workship in Copenahgen and attend a static test firing of one of their rockets, and also to exchange ideas and ask questions of them in person. CSTART is very keen to take advantage of this excellent opportunity and will do everything in its power to make sure we can do so.
Offers of Friendship have been extended to a number of other groups whom we are still waiting to hear back from.
