Those silly, silly Danes. Actually doing quite good work.

Northerners interested in "local" space industry sites might also note Esrange in Kiruna, Sweden. Of course, that's sounding rockets backed by big players, so they are having an entirely different goal.

Results!

[spoiler]The test was successful as in they found things they need to fix and adjust!  The system lost stability on climb out and tumbled over end before reaching the desired altitude.  The capsule was damaged on impact with the water.

I say it was a successful test because they now know what to go back and fix, which is the point of testing.[/spoiler]
