About the translation: at the bottom of the chat windows it's the icon right next to the question mark.

Apparently, the pyros fired, but no LOX had entered the combustion chamber, so abort.

Pyros ignited but no LOX..... The LOX valve might be frozen.

There was a small cloud of some thing. May of been the valve not opening.

Co-constructor Peter Madsen on the way to the launch platform. But with the pyros probably fired, we probably wont see any launch today.

getting reports that it was a bad battery with telemetry, and that no pyros fired. We might see another attempt today.

cancelled! It seems there was a problem with the LOX valve after all, next to the dead battery. They'll depress and tow it back to port now. Winds dont look good for the next 2 days, so I guess the next launch attempt will come in 3-4 days or so.

Pyros did also fire. According to ingeniøren.dk: "Everything worked except the LOX valve"....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11178034Danish rocketeers postpone launch
"A group of Danish rocket enthusiasts trying to launch a dummy 30km into the sky had to abort the mission when a valve on their rocket jammed. The Copenhagen Suborbitals group is attempting to fly its DIY vehicle from a restricted military test area near Bornholm island in the Baltic Sea. The man-sized dummy is strapped inside a pressurised, tubular capsule.
When Sunday's countdown reached zero, a puff of smoke was seen from the rocket but nothing happened. A subsequent inspection found a valve controlling the flow of very cold, liquid oxygen to the motor had frozen up. "

Sadly it doesn't look like they will get another shot for quite some time. According to the updates on their Facebook page the next launch attempt will be in June 2011. The area where they are launching from is not usable in the winter. Shame too, I'm wishing these guys all the best. They even have a submarine, how cool is that?
