Launch Time: 10:56
Team Members Present: Dan, Jesse, Leighton
Play-by-Play: The rocket blasts off with tremendous power as the three solid fuel engines burn brightly. The rocket breaks apart as the engines are released and the next set takes over. Next the final set controls the descent as the cockpit hurtles back to Earth. The cockpit then parachutes down into the water nearby.
Summary: 10k flight: $10,000
10k meter manned flight: $20,000
50k meter manned flight: $30,000
Opportunities / Learnings: Solid fuel helps break through atmosphere and fuel needs to be used sparingly whenever possible/
Strategies / Project Timeline: Next we wish to pursue an orbital launch, which is the next milestone we wish to achieve. We don't need to start over, but some improvements are in order. We will need to calculate the thrust to achieve orbit.
Milestone Awards Presented: 10,000 meter flight
10,000 meter manned flight
50,000 meter manned flight,
Available Funds: 19605 + 2500 + 5000 + 7500 = 30350
