Thursday, we will devote about an hour to more measurements of the rockets and characterizing the launchers. This, as opposed to the rotational dynamics lab previously scheduled.
Remember your end goal: predicting, for a given angle of launch, where the thing is going to land. Keep in mind the target may not be at the same level as the launcher. Tomorrow or Friday we'll also discuss in more detail how to use your data to model the drag force empirically and use that in your trajectory calculations.
