Today we made blueprints and started making our rocket. We have decided to use a parabola shaped nose cone because from the website below and many other reliable sources we have found that this is the best design to use. We have decided to construct the nose cone out of cardboard and duct tape because by using the rocket simulator I found that it was best to use that kind of material. Form Addison's use of the rocket simulator we found that it is best to use three fins instead of four because it decreases the rockets mass which helps it cut through the air quicker.

B.T.W. I will be posting the blueprint tomorrow because I forgot to bring my tablet home.
