Yesterday I was called out to our launch field to fire off 2 rockets for local press and the school principal. Press got lots of video and still pics.
The picture attached is a screen capture of our high power LEVEL1 launch from yesterday of a 5ft tall 1.5Kg rocket on an H195 WL. We figured that the rocket traveled just past the 1Km altitude mark at roughly ~680Km/hr.
More later. :evil:
Our first rocket that we fired was a sonic flight to about 900m alt on a G80-13T BT (blue thunder). Highest impulse rocket motor in the medium power category.
All in all the Grade 6 and Grade 7s had fun with their applied science/EdTech class.
