Project X-51
Hi I am Josh, I am in a group with two of my classmates Angelina and Mia. With project X-51 we want to build a rocket that launch over 50ft, safely land our crew (an egg) and be cost effective. For this project we had a budget and prices for all the materials we needed to build our rocket. We built our rocket using a two liter bottle, construction paper, Tissues paper (to keep our crew safe), tape, hot glue, and posterboard. To launch our rocket we needed rocket fuel (water) once we got our rocket fuel we went to the launch pad. The launch pad is a wooden pad with a pipe sticking out from the top, there is hose connected to the pipe and connected to hose there is an air pump and you pump up the air into the pipe. Then once the pressure builds up and you can’t pump anymore you release the clamp and BLAST OFF! Our rocket went over 80 ft in the air and our egg also survived.
