The Copenhagen Suborbitals is an amateur rocketry group in Denmark attempting to develop a single person suborbital spacecraft at an extremely low cost. Two weeks ago, CS launched a two-stage rocket from a platform in the Baltic Sea, with limited success. This past weekend it launched Beautiful Betty.
That's the name given the capsule launched in a test of the group's Launch Escape System. The LES failed-- and Betty slammed into the waves-- but CS is pleased with the data it obtained. Developing rockets on any budget is tough.
