4 Musketeers

4 Musketeers is the name of the rocket my friends and i built. My class is making rockets it is a competition. Ruby, Jessica, Tereora and I designed our rocket. I did the wings and the back picture, Ruby did the names and the front picture,  Jessica did the parachute and Tereora did the nose cone and the flames. 

We put four wings on so it was more stable then we put a nose cone which stablised it even more. Under the nose cone is the parachute. The nose cone is not attached it just sits on the top the of rocket just enough so it doesn't fall off. The parachute goes under the nose cone so when the rocket comes down the nose cone comes off and the parachute comes out. this way it wont hit the ground hard and break. 

We made a prototype so we could see if it would work. On the day we tested the prototype some off the rockets went in circles, and some went super high. We used psi and water to make them fly. we where only allowed to use 60 psi, if you used more it might explode.


our group had to figure out how much psi and water to use to make the rocket fly. we didnt really know how much to put in so we guessed and lucky for us ours went flying and was the highest. The parachute did not work so we need to do a bit more work on that to get it to fly.

    This rocket looks really cool! I like the way that you added a description saying what you did and why. Maybe you could make the parachute bigger so that it caught more air?
