Day 3

Today we added a parachute in two ways. The first was by lightly taping it to on top of the rocket with no protection hoping it would just pop off, that didn't work. However what did work was placing the parachute inside the cone. We detached the cone and gently put the parachute inside. After when we reattached the cone, we did so barely so that it was only placed on top of the rocket. The pressure from the rocket going into the air is what most likely kept it on top but when the rocket reached the point where it was about to fall, the cone fell off and the parachute opened perfectly. So now that we have figured out what works best for the parachute, we now have to figure out how to get the rocket in the air longer. We're thinking that if we have a more aero-dynamic cone shape then the rocket will farther into the air because we increased the pressure to 50 from 60 and it didn't make much difference.
