Copenhagen Suborbitals is a crowd-funded human space program. It has flown six home-built rockets and capsules since 2011.[3] The organization successfully launched its Nexø II rocket in the summer of 2018.[4][5] Its stated goal is to have one of its members reach space (above 100 km) on a sub-orbital spaceflight. The organization was founded by Kristian von Bengtson and Peter Madsen.[6]
As of September 2024, the program has 63 volunteers who elect a chairman and board members at their annual general assemblies. The chairman is Jørgen Skyt.
