Third Launch

Lift Off

Setting Up Launch

Successful Parachute

Our launch today was very successful even though we are poor boarders with absolutely no resources to use. With little resources we still managed to have a successful parachute deployment that allowed us to exceed the 3 second limit. Our longest launch time was 7.14 seconds. We may need to try and add fins that may hopefully allow our rocket to gain stability. Our rocket may need some modifications to the parachute because it deployed a little later than we wanted it too. Overall it was another successful launch day despite being down one member. Fight the disease Leilani. Fight hard, living long and prosper.

  1. Congrats on your parachute!
    I saw it! It deployed extremely well and really extended your time.
    I think that your ideas for stability sound perfect.
    You guys are doing AWESOME most definitely for being "poor boarders" :)
