Hello All,

A couple of enterprising Danes have built a submarine-launched, suborbital 1-person rocket called HEAT-1X (three web site & web page links on it are given below), which is a "half-length" subscale test vehicle for a larger craft to fly above 100 km. The hybrid propellant rocket vehicle looks sturdy, but its transparent hemispherical nose/viewing dome makes me fervently hope that the craft avoids any bird strikes during powered ascent! Here are the links:
