What is the best angle to launch my Bottle Rocket?
We found out after our 3 Test Launches that the best angle for a simple rocket with Sustainable fins in between 30 and 38 Degrees (given that you dont want your passenger [the egg] to crack and break. Between these angles, when your Rocket is launched, there is little to no probability of your rocket top sizing and Nose diving into the Ground.
In Order to protect and assure the safety of the egg what insulation/protection should we use inside the rocket.
This task was rather easy. We first tested an egg surrounded by paper towels and a plasticbag... it was scrambled... On our second launch we launched our egg in a plastic bag surrounded by Cotton balls in the front of the rocket in the nose cone, this was a success but for extra safety my Partner surrounded our third and final egg in a Styrofoam case and the surrounded it by cotton. When we lauched the landing was hard and impulsive.. but our egg survived.
