Amateur Suborbital Rockets and Capsules

Suborbital rockets and crew capsules built by volunteer groups rather than by a space agency or an aerospace company, with the aim of showing that private citizens can reach the edge of space. HEAT 1X Tycho Brahe, the first rocket and spacecraft combination of the Danish group Copenhagen Suborbitals, launched from a floating platform in the Baltic Sea and is the first such vehicle in this atlas. A vehicle belongs here when its cited source describes it as an amateur or volunteer-built suborbital rocket or capsule. Commercial crewed suborbital vehicles, sounding rockets that carry instruments and government re-entry test vehicles have groups of their own in this subcategory.
