Copenhagen Suborbials has successfully launched two actively guided rockets, Sapphire and Nexø I.
On both rockets, thrust vectoring was obtained through the use of jet vanes inserted into the engine exhaust.
The jet vanes shown in this video will be flown on Nexø II, planned to launch during the summer of 2017.
As one jet vane is used for demonstration purposes, only three of the four jet vanes is shown mounted on the vane assembly.
You can learn more about the Sapphire and Nexø rockets on our Youtube channel.

Copenhagen Suborbitals is the world's only manned, amateur space program, 100% crowdfunded and nonprofit. In the future, one of us will fly to space on a home built rocket.
