Launch 2

For Launch 2, I was not there. Our group, the New Newtons, changed our first rocket by adding two new fins and a new nosecone. The day of Launch 2 was very windy. Our rocket went only 24.5 meters compared to our first launch of 28.5 meters. I felt the result of Launch 2 was due to the windy conditions. I also did not think that our nosecone was as effective as our first one. Our second nosecone had a ridge in the tape which might have slowed down the rocket as it went up. Overall, our group worked very well together. Our rocket was successful on both launches. At least our launches did not explode! One thing that I learned about Rocketry is that the rocket being aerodynamic makes a big difference. Rocketry was a BLAST!

This is my Rocketry movie.
