Final Launch

Today was the final launch and unfortunately, we weren't able to retrieve our rocket off of the roof because the wind beat us to it. Because we couldn't get our rocket back, we had to start all over to make another one. The thing is, we only had one day to make one that's just as good as our first one. Too bad that didn't happen. This time our rocket fell apart on the first launch attempt. Fins flew everywhere and the nose cone detached itself. We did our launch procedures the same exact way. We kept the amount of water we used and the amount of pressure we used a constant, but the rocket just wouldn't perform as well as the first one. I believe it's because we used different shape bottles and a different parachute design. This rocket wasn't constructed as well due to time constraints and lack of supplies. It only stayed up in the air for 5 seconds compared to our 11 second launch on the third launch day.
