Today logged in as day four of our rocket launch trials. To obtain credit for today‘s assignment, each group was required to have their rocket stay in the air for a minimum of 5 seconds. By now, each group had already added immense amounts of modifications to their rockets ensuring that a majority of the groups would be able to keep their rockets in the air for the minimum of 5 seconds. Over the weekend, I was determined to design a rocket that would meet the ultimate goal of remainning in the air for ten seconds, so I decided to rebuild our entire rocket. I used the two following links to help with my construction process:
Rocket Structure/Fins/Nose Cone: http://tclauset.org/21_BtlRockets/BTL.htm
Parachute: http://www.pack530.org/PDF%20FILES/Building%20A%20P-530%20Rocket.pdf
Due to the additional modifications, our rocket was able to remain in flight for 5.5 seconds. YAAAYYY!!(:
Hey! We used the same website! :) it was really helpful right?? I can relate because my groups rocket was based on creating it from that website and it made the 5 second minimum as well :)
