Hi Gustav --

The rocket has been launched already there? 
I haven't seen it flying there from this part of the Baltic sea (Finnish
Gulf) :)

They say it's(/was) planned to be launched at:

<<<
LAUNCHING TODAY AT APP 10 UTC, SUN 5, 2010
>>>

Do they mean 10 p.m. UTC (GMT)?

Thank you for that news.

Hi all

As if it isn't enough to build your own spacecraft, these guys (previously)
built a submarine (which is not as easy as you may think). Nautilus it is
proudly named after the famous USS nuclear sub passing the North Pole years
back .

So, of course, this is now used for maneuvering the launch platform to the
launch area at a military area of the Baltic Sea:

This first test flight planned to take place tomorrow, Sunday, aimed at
reaching an altitude of only 30 km will only carry a doll.
I must say I feel respect for such enthusiasm as all costs and labour are
carried by donations and volunteers.

By the way, the USS Nautilus was designated a National Historic Landmark and
is now settled at the Submarine Force Museum in Connecticut:
