Thursday evening a crew of Copenhagen Suborbitals vikings has been assembled in Norway to board our newly bought mission control ship. Mission: Bringing her home to Denmark to launch rockets.
The trip is led by Captain Niels Johansen joined by Claus Nørregaard, Steen Andersen, André Christensen and Naval Captain Steen Lorck. They hit the ocean Nov 8 22:27 local time (4 PM NYC time) and will hopefully be arriving sometime Friday (midnight) at Copenhagen were we will all be waiting with hot coffee, music and cheering.

Yesterday the ship was bunkered with oil and now holds 6000 liters which should be more than enough for the trip and several operations. Johansen has also been working a bit of maintenance as well as finalizing contracts, payment and handshakes.
