Today, we launched our final rocket that we had been designing these past few weeks. It was a success. It turned out that we had chosen good materials and done our calculations correctly. Our rocket launched well, and actually went pretty high. The only problem was that when it came back down, the parachute got burned and slightly melted because of the ejection charge. So the parachute was deployed but it never came out properly, so when our rocket hit the ground it came down hard causing two of our fins to break off. Other than that the rocket was fine.
