RE: 8 years ago today, I launched a pink rocket at NASAs most historic launchpad now used by SpaceX

in #stemsocial4 years ago

Indeed a great experience I am sure of it. Did the rocket record any data from the launch (altitude, pressure, etc for example)? or was just a "simple" rocket launch?

Sort:  

It carried a toy Unicorn, so I would call it a" super serious" launch!

On a serious note. It reached an altitude of 690 feet and stayed in the air for about 45 seconds.

The whole point was to be a student rocket as part of our exam. And the challenge was to get as close as possible to 1000 feet and 50 seconds in the air. (While also carrying a raw egg and 1 pound crystal that had to come back down whole).

😆 Interesting payload 😎 Very interesting comparison picture LOL
