We launched our second rocket on a monday. I was really excited for this to launch to happen! I thought the launches were the best part of the unit and so I was always looking forward to them.

 We switched up our jobs during the launch a little to get a different experience. Although my job stayed the same, I was still happy about it because I liked it. I thought we did a really good job working together and making decisions based on each others opinions. Before we launched we were kilometer readers for another team. That means that we had to measure how high their rocket went.

When we launched I pumped the air pressure to exactly fifty for our rocket to launch well. After the launch our rocket didn’t do close to as well as our rocket last launch but it still launched pretty well. We changed our nose cone a little bit to experiment and It looked like It didn’t work out. On our next design we will go back to our old nose cone design and make everything else a little better. We are going to make our body a little bit smaller and try to balance every thing out. I think this will benefit us because it can go higher in the air faster and this can create a higher total.

Overall I think our team did really well working together and I am very excited for launching our next rocket. A few adjustments here and there can make our rocket a lot better and that’s what we’ll try to do. If we work well together and stick to our plans while building we will do great. I hope we can and have a very successful launch!
