Attempt #3 & Final Blog


1. A video of your final and most successful launch ^
2. What issues or problems did you encounter during the project - Our last attempt was the most successful, it went extremely high and had the best outcome in total time performance.  The only problem we seemed to encounter was the failure of our parachute deploying out after the launch.
3. How did these issues and problems affect the performance of your rocket - The issue of the parachute not deploying was a very hard factor for us, making it hard to conclude a timed floating number.
4. What did you do to resolve the issues and problems - Our rocket shot so high, that the 10 seconds came up from the total height and point it reached, and the time it came down for. We didn't fix it, because it was still a success and we still hit our goal which was for the rocket to exceed more than 10 seconds.
5. What was the result of your solutions - The result of our solutions still allowed us to hit out goal, 10 seconds.
