Also some live shots of the rocket on the rail.
Previous- They just conducted an interview with one of the Copenhagen guys.

Some fantastic helicopter video.. I'm not going to bother repeating the new T+0 I've heard.. it'll go when it's ready.
If you're watching the video, you should know when they are about to launch because the crew will be spirited away in a support boat.

Thanks Chris. The video feeds are overwhelmed with the international interest..
Hopefully the helicopter will refuel and do another pass soon. I'll see if I can get some screenshots then.

It seems we are at mercy of the camera being pointed up at a big screen
I think the view is looking up toward the top of the rocket

some more google translated statements from
http://www.tv2bornholm.dk/moduler/nyheder/news.asp?id=5493915:39 The tricky fishing boat is now finally out of the launch zone.
15:39 LOX valve closes.
15:40 Now sending helium into the bottom of the rocket to put pressure on the rocket.
15:42 Launch date is estimated by Kristian von Bengtson to lie half hours away, around 16.15.
15:47 The pressure in the rocket rises right now as planned.
15:54 Reporting from Hjortø: rocket facilitates about 30-40 minutes. ( I think this means a launch at 1630 or about 30 minutes from now)
Launch estimates are constantly shifting, I hope they are able to launch today, although they have more openings in the coming weeks, afaik, so a failure to launch wont be a showstopper for another year.
attached a small picture.

The stream is now showing a newscast next to the mission control center screen, with an interview shown of the builders.
Wish there'd be more publicity, perhaps after the launch. Nice thing to try, this.

Ustream shows 4000+ viewers on the Arnholm channel alone and local TV is brodcasting their launch. Thats pretty good for a first launch, IMO.

This reminds me of when I followed another pioneering suborbital rocket 50 years ago - - Al Shepard's mercury Redstone in May 1961.
Yep - I'm that old to remember Al's flight and did have opportunity meet him.
Go,Tycho - Go,go,go !!!!
