    the rocket’s flight due to the changing direction of the rocket. The rocket will reach its maximum height, stall, and then begin to fall. We planned to design the rocket to have a heavy weight at the front, so that it would land nose down. This means that after it has expended its fuel, the heavier nose will turn the rocket to be nose down. It is during this turn that my group hoped the centripetal force would pull the nose cone off the rocket, releasing the parachute and the egg capsule, allowing

    Our project is about which rocket fuel is better to launch a rocket: KNO3, KNO3 w/Fe203 or KNO3 w/Fe203 and HFCS (corn syrup). We found in your research that rocket have evolved from a firework rockets to huge machine able to get to space.We are test different mixture to found which propellent is suite to launch a rocket; KNO3, KNO3 w/corn syrup & KNO3 w/rust powder. Your hypothesis is if KNO3 w/powder rust then it will go higher. To make the rocket fuel mix the KNO3 w/sugar with a measuring cup:50
