Test Lunch 1

This is my rocket. It has Zeph, Keira, Lucy on it. the fins where on the bottom of the rocket and you can see the shape of them in the photo. We had 3 of them. We had a parachute and it was made from a rubbish bag. We made the nose cone from a sprite bottle. We painted NASA on it. Lucy did all the painting.

Our first test lunch  went really really bad it nearly blew up and our  parachute did not open. I think it was because  we had the nose cone on to hard. We had 60psi and 200ml of water. It was pretty cool and next time I think we should not put the nose cone on too hard.

Our first Rocket Test Flight

Yesterday we had our first flight test with our ambassador Lincoln. To launch a rocket you need bike pump, 1.5L bottle, H2O, safety glasses, launcher, pressure gage, measuring jug. First you need to make changes to the bottle to make it so it fly's higher.  Next you need set up then you need to fill the bottle up as much as you need.  Then connect it to the launcher. then stand about 3 steps back and 10 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, fire it may take about 20 secs or so but other whys it will maybe lunch straight away. Now what happens with ours Launch 1, 10psi and 250ml of water Launch 2 30psi 200ml of water Launch 3 45psi 250ml of water last but not least Launch 4 45psi 350ml. Now you may be thinking what one went the highest it was the last one. The first one had a 10 second delay.
