Blogpost #4 - Third Launch

We did our third rocket launch this past Friday. This time, we added a quite a few more modifications to our rocket. We elongated it, duct taped the entire thing, added four, evenly spaced fins, and attached a parachute. However, we did not use a nose cone. We also added 500 mL of water to the rocket.  When we finally tested it, its launch speed was about 40 psi and the time turned out to be 3.41 seconds. The parachute did not work as well as we hoped it would. Although we made our time a little over 3 seconds and had a parachute, thus fulfilling all of the requirements for this launch, we know we can definitely do better. For our next launch, we will add a nose cone and cut our parachute a little differently--hopefully this will help to keep our rocket in the air longer.
