Rocket Blog #4

During this project, we had complications with the parachute. Our first parachute would deploy, but could not hold the weight of our rocket, therefore it was defective and needed to be modified. When we finally made our second parachute and tested it, the parachute did not deploy on any of our tests. Instead we tried to make the rocket ascend at a great height incase the parachute did not deploy. We needed to make our time. To do this, we made our cone heavier with a highlighter, a pencil, and a small tube of hand sanitizer. In the end, our parachute did not deploy, but our rocket went higher than ever, and stayed in the air for a sufficient amount of time.
