This rocketry experience was delightful and entrancing, we obtained resourceful knowledge that would help us later on in our life. During the experience we worked cooperative mostly throughout the unit, but also had some tempestuous times during this experience.
Our first rocket was depressing, our rocket went the lowest out of all 5 rocket. We contemplated a long time to find what was wrong and it helped us along the way during the process planning of our second rocket. Despite that, we were still satisfied that our rocket launched off of the launcher. We used a ton of duck tape so that the rocket wouldn’t have any spaces that air could find it’s way out which we thought was the difficulty. The average height of our rocket was 71 feet and 21.5 meters high.
The second one accelerated way faster off of the launcher and we thought that made our rocket go to it’s summit. We had less arguments because it was our second rocket and had more information. We thought of another the precipitate of our 1st rocket not going high: too much duck tape. We fixed all of our mistakes carefully. Our second rocket went 126 feet and 38.5 meters high. We placed 2nd out of all 5 rockets.
Thankfully we got a change to design a third rocket which practically resembles our rocket 2. That means it’s basically the same and there were near no changes. We kept nearly everything the same because we thought it consists a perfect amount of drag and thrust.
Overall this rocketry experience was pleasurable, exhilarating and absorbing. It has been a pleasure to work with my teammates throughout the unit.
