DESIGN/SPACE news :: This is a follow up to the HEAT 1600 rocket already uploaded to SketchUp's 3D Warehouse (
which can be found here). The Copenhagen Suborbitals HEAT E1 rocket is very similar to the HEAT 1x rocket already built and launched. Find the
SketchUp model of the HEAT E1 here.

There was
a size comparison guide of Copenhagen Suborbitals rockets that served as the primary reference for this model. There were also a lot of references of similar existing rockets to base this model off of so the level
of detail is a little higher. Still, it is simple enough for people to
quickly download and begin modifying.
A quick "sketch" of the seating assembly was put in what appears to be a scaled up version of the
Tycho Brahe capsule, and there is plenty of room inside the rocket's body to place the rocket engine and fuel tanks in.
