Danish amateur rocket, Heat-1X Tycho Brahe, a MSC (micro spacecraft), takes off from its launch pad in the Baltic Sea east of Bornholm 16.32 pm, 03 June 2011 carrying a doll of human size. A group of Danish space enthusiasts lead by Kristian von Bengtson and Peter Madsen enjoyed a success with their rocket. The original plan for the Danish amateur rocket builders was to send the rocket 15 to 16 kilometers up in the air, but the craft reached only 2,8 km and flew a total of 8.5 km. The launch 03 June is to be seen as part of a larger plan to send a human into space. EPA/BO TORNVIG DENMARK OUT
