Copenhagen Suborbitals is the world's only manned, amateur, crowd funded space programme. Since 2011, it has flown 4 home built rockets and 2 mock-up space capsules. Eventually, one of the members will fly into space (above 100 km) in a space capsule on the Spica rocket. The next step is launching the Nexø I and II rockets in 2016, which also will see the design start of the big BPM-100 Spica rocket engine. As an amateur organisation, the 55 members use their spare time on the project, while at the same time having regular dayjobs. At the annual general assembly, they elect a chairman and boardmembers. Currently, (2015) the chairman is Kristian Elof Sørensen, who also leads the Copenhagen Suborbitals maritime group. Their use of relatively simple solutions for complex problems has also helped set Copenhagen Suborbitals apart; examples of this approach can be seen in their preference for simple mechanical solutions over more complex electronic ones, and their avoidance of potentially restrictive red tape by the use of lightly regulated technology in their projects. ==Astronauts== As of 2015, 3 members are candidates for becoming the first astronaut to fly on the Spica rocket: • Mads Stenfatt • Anna Olsen • Carsten Olsen (father of Anna Olsen) Since the first manned flight is several years away, this could very well change before training and selection start. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Copenhagen Suborbitals」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
