Deke Slayton‚ born march 1924 in a small town in Wisconsin‚ was the single most determined astronaut ever to launch through the earth’s atmosphere. Deke was a trained fighter pilot who flew many missions in World War 2. With this background he was a sought after pilot that readily agreed to join the flight program. Deke was not the type to sit around‚ but he was the type who liked to goof off and pull jokes on other members of the team. Sometimes his jokes would get him in trouble. But there were

APPENDIX 11 ABSTRACT Motion of the rocket is simulated using two numerical analysis methods. From the simulation different parameters such as altitude‚ velocity‚ acceleration and range for initial fuel flows were calculated. Two numerical methods‚ Euler’s integration and 4th order Runge-Kutta integration are used for calculating different parameters for the vertically launched rocket. The efficiency and the accuracy of the methods were compared. It was found

Build Water Rockets Explain how they work and ask the students which of Newton’s laws apply to them. You should talk about what forces are acting on the water rocket to make it move (talk conceptually about the idea of a free body diagram). You should have the force from the ejected propellant acting upwards‚ and the weight and air resistance acting downwards. Talk about how each law applies to the physics of the water rocket. Try to have the students identify which
