Today our task was to launch our rocket with another modification, which was a parachute. We also added fins to our rocket. The launch had to stay in the air for a minimum of three seconds, but the parachute did not have to work. We launched the rocket with 700 mL of water. We didnʻt know exactly how much pressure we used, because the pump was broken, but I think it was around 50 PSI. When it launched, right 3 out of 4 of our wings fell off and our parachute ripped. We are going to try to glue the wings on better and then duck tape them on. We also have to do a little more research about parachutes. Here is a video of our failure.
