Two Danish entrepreneurs are planning to launch a nine-meter high space rocket from a platform in the Baltic Sea on Saturday. They hope it will eventually pave the way for manned space flight in micro-sized spacecraft.

It looks like it's still awaiting launch. The launch window closes Sep 17.
It's only going to an altitude of 30km, but lets hope it works and they can move on to bigger rockets.
The organisation apparently relies on voluntary donations:

The launch was canceled already Sunday so no more launch attempts this time. They plan to try again in June 2011. Until then we can enjoy these nice photos from the campaign: http://picasaweb.google.com/thomas.tp/HEAT1XPCampaign#
Copenhagen Suborbitals has a blog where they provide frequent technical updates: http://ing.dk/artikel/111720-teknik-news It is in Danish but Google translator can provide understandable translation.
