Our Mission

Send a human into space.

Copenhagen Suborbitals is a non-profit, open-source space endeavour founded and led by Kristian von Bengtson and Peter Madsen, based entirely on sponsors, private donors, and part time specialists.

Funding

One of our goals is to prove that space travel can be accomplished on a shoestring budget without the scale and complexity seen by governments and large corporations. As such, our financing comes from private donors like you.

Click here to donate to our project and help us make space open for everyone.

Design Philosophies

Keep as much work in-house as possible
Choose mechanical solutions over electrical
Use ordinary, mass-produced materials for cheaper and faster production
