Day 3 Launch Summary

Today we added on new fins to our bottle because of the loss of our old fins in the second launch. After we added the find we grabbed a garbage back and cut a piece off and connected the ends with duct tape. We then punctured holes into four spots on the bottom of the parachute to connect the string from the bottle to the parachute. After the Fins and parachute we cut another two liter bottle for the cone on top of the rocket to hold the parachute within it. We connected a string from the fin to the cone with hot glue and went outside to test the rocket. When we launched, we made a nine second air time. The parachute did not deploy and the cone stayed directly on until it speared the konia parking lot area. Some things we can do to better our rocket is to somehow get a stronger glue to keep our fins from falling off when in contact with the ground. We also need to put the cone on a little less tight because we need it to fall off during flight for the parachute to deploy.
