Surely it's not too different from what Scaled Composites had to do when they built/launched SpaceShipOne. (Yes, stationary launch is different from air-launched, but the regulatory approvals as I understand them have to do with space, not ground launch.)
That of course doesn't mean it's not a pain in the ass...
- Femur 18y agoNote that in this case the group is launching from Denmark, so approvals and regulations are different than what Scaled Composites (a US company) had to go through.
- mixmax 18y agoThey are currenly thinking about using the submarine to tow the barge with the rocket from Copenhagen to the North Sea, and just getting that journey approved is a huge problem. The department of defense seems to have a negative opinion about a submarine towing a huge rocket through Danish territorial waters :-) There are many obstacles like that.
