Testing:
Today we tested our rocket. We added enough water to fill the bottom of the 2 liter bottle. On our first test run, we had a very successful launch. On our second and third launches, we had a few complications but none that cannot be fixed.
Complications as followed:
- One wing fell off
* This wing fell off when the rocket landed on its side. It is just styrofoam therefore it can be fixed within a few minutes.
- Water leakage
* Water started to leak after we tried to launch our rocket the third time. Our seal did not sick after the third launch. We will be doing some improving to this area.
- Mason wire
* The Mason wire did not work to launch our rocket. We are unsure as to why this is happening.
- Air
* We had trouble with the air compressor. We think that the compressor isn't getting air which could be the cause of our problem.
We will be fixing these problems and try again.
