Rocket Launching

Today was the final launch day for the teams and excitement was in the air.  Each team as allowed three cycles of fifteen minutes each to fire their rocket as many times as they could to get the best film footage and hopefully have a successful launch at the same time.

We had some amazing and successful launches, like this one from Plain Dealing...

And Parkway had a spectacular parachute deployment at the apex of their flight for an amazing display of rocket craftsmanship.

There were a couple that gave us a some alarm, such as Green Oaks, but they came through beautifully...

We also had high speed footage of the rockets taken, here's Plain Dealing at 3000 frames per second!

In the end, the final flights went of well with every team filming a successful launch.  We're ready for tomorrow and the teams are excited.  We'll see how the presentations go, it's still anybody's game!
