03.01.2011 Launch Day 2

Today’s rocket launch was MUCH better then yesterday being that there were no casualties (Sorry Mr. Blake). The bottle also launched straight in the air, which didn’t happen until the third time yesterday. The three green sticks, as seen in our video, really helped with making the rocket fly straight up. If you are having trouble with that, I suggest the green sticks. The modifications that we made to our water bottle rocket made the rocket fly in the air longer. We added another bottle to the body of rocket to increase the stability of the rocket while in flight. We also added a cone to the top of the rocket for aerodynamics and weight. As you can see in our video, our bottle rocket flew straighter and went higher. We think fins will make our rocket have more air time. We also need to add a parachute and mass weight to increase the flight time and the stability of the rocket while in air.
