Bottle Rockets

I have started to experiment with a crude altitude tracker that just uses a rough angle (from gravity) to make up a tangent chart to find the vertical height. It was adapted from a NASA education website.

the launcher design was taken from these websites, my class and I designed the housing for the launcher.
