Copenhagen Suborbitals to Roman Candle Humans Into Space in Cramped Conditions
The UberReview — Copenhagen Suborbitals are taking a Micromachines view of the commercial space race. They are developing a series of suborbitals that are designed to take a single passenger into space. The company currently has two projects under development: the Hybrid Atmospheric Test Vehicle (unmanned) and the Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter, which will carry a tiny spacecraft into space with a passenger in the nosecone. From the nosecone, the passenger will have a good view of what is going on, there is a plexiglas dome that will allow him or her to “experience the entire ballistic ride.” As exciting as that sounds, ...

Micro spacecraft to blast single brave rider into space
DVICE Atom Feed — How desperate are you to fly into space? Copenhagen Suborbitals has a crazy plan to cram you into the nosecone of this minuscule rocket, blasting you into space and returning you safely to Earth, all by your lonesome self. That standing-up position doesn't look too comfortable, but claustrophobic daredevils can rest easy because the entire tip of the nosecone is transparent, showing the rider a magnificent view of the approaching cosmos. They're calling this rocket HEAT, or Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter, and it'll propel a human into space at a relatively gentle 3g force, not enough to break even a fragile leg. The ...

Personal Missile Will Send You Into Sub-Orbit
OhGizmo! — By Evan Ackerman The options at the moment for getting into orbit (or even sub-orbit) as a private citizen are somewhat limited. You can spend a week on the ISS (for $25 million), buy a seat on Virgin Galactic (for $200,000 pretty soon), or get there on a technicality in a MiG 31 (for about $27,500). Copenhagen Suborbitals is looking to break into this questionable market with their Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter, which is a single person space capsule that sits on top of a ballistic missile. This concept is about as awesomely old-school as it gets. Don’t believe me? They did it in ...

Personal space capsule: Stuffed in a missile, send you into orbit
TechChee.com, shop online for gadget, gizmo and hot tech stuff — [image] Copenhagen Suborbitals is trying to break through for everyone to travel into the orbit of the Earth. They’re planning for a new concept - a personal space capsule, which is called the Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter . This space capsule would be an affordable solution that would probably make average people to be able to travel into the orbit. Currently, there are only a few options for getting into orbit and they’re are damn expensive only super rich guys can afford. Such as spending a week on the ISS as a space tourist that costs you $25 million, buying a seat at Virginia for $200,000 or fly the MiG 31 into the orbit for $27,500. ...
