PHASE 1.5 - Painting/Putting parts togetherPurpose: We have to connect all our separate rocket parts together now since we finished making each one. We have to paint it and we must connect the body to the nose cone/payload. We are not to attach the fins yet for we must calculate weight first to check if it's enough weight to balance the weight of our rocket. Group Members: Isabel and Sammie ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ (No Beforehand Research required for this process) Materials:
Vision: We honestly wanted ours to look different from everyone elses. Instead of painting a typical blue we decided on an off set green. We were going to paint it to be similar to the character "Mike Wazowski" but we didn't end up doing that. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ What Happened? - A painting/building story After we finished creating the individual parts for our rocket. We began to paint. We borrowed paint from Mike and chose to paint our rocket green (so it would be out of the ordinary). We actually painted our rocket body as we were building the nose cone. We also went on and painted our fins silver (with glitters). We also super glued our nose cone onto the payload. We couldn't glue the payload to the rocket body for we had to have the parachute in there. Connecting Parachute with Launch Lug: Using the old folders that Andrew gave us, we ripped it apart to get the metal file part. We would later bend that into the Launch Lug that kept our motor in place at the edge of our rocket. We then pushed our parachute into the actual rocket body, connecting the string to the nose cone.
