First, we glued F tube to the top of G base.
Then, glued the bottom 1 inside of G tube then placed it over F tube, G base, and A tube.
Finally, we put a 25 mm mark on the straight line from the bottom near the base and up on G tube, then glued H tube. -

Cut out the "1,2,3 paper" and glued the rubber string to it, then glued that inside the top of the rocket"s body "G tube".

We put the parachute into the rocket and have now decorated the rocket. -
Team assignments
Mission commander: Mary Grosvenor
Launch Specialists: Hunter Lethcoe
Weather research analyst: Mary Grosvenor
Launch Recorder: Grace Booth -
Launch
Our launch was successful overall but our parachute deployed a bit too early. -
Parachute solution
We cut a whole on the top of the parachute for a quicker more smooth decent. Also put some tape around the round part of the nozzle for it to stay on a bit tighter. -
Our Manual
We started making our instruction manual in our own words. -
Final Launch
Our rocket had a successful even better launch then the last time.
