Copenhagen Suborbitals is a Danish group of amateur rocket enthusiasts. Copenhagen Suborbitals' goal is to launch a person up in space in a parabolic flight. The hybrid rocket HEAT (Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter) will use LOX and paraffin wax. In June 2010 a scaled down version is expected to launch a crash test dummy to an altitude of 40 km.
