Launch day 2... 3/1/11

Launch numba 2

Today we added some modifications onto our bottle rocket. We attempted to add on fins, and a ghetto nose cone. We found out that our nose cone was not too great. When we make another one, we found out that we need to make it more aerodynamic for it to work. The fins that we added on helped a little. But we didnʻt get the angles and shape of the fins right. And also next time, we need secure the fins on better. Another modification we need to add on, is some weight. That will help the rocket fly straighter and hopefully better.

  2. I like how you said "ghetto nose cone". That's extremely professional. Don't good job on your second launch. It looks like you guys are getting somewhere. All the modifications that you are hoping to do for the next launch sound good. I hope all goes well. Keep up the good work.
