Wednesday July 11:


Today i started to work on my material list for my rocket. But before I had to decide on a few things, for example i decided to use the gardena quick connector release mechanisms as we already have a few materials from there. I also decided to use a Coke bottle for my PET bottles as we drink a lot of Coke and have a good shape concerning aerodynamics. The list is probably missing some materials. I also did not yet put the materials for the launching pad as i still have to look what kind of materials we already have and how i am going to make it.
