Day 1
Today we brainstormed ideas for the escape pod
and finalized setting up the website. We also started to make a good process with team communication set up.
Dec 01, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 2
Today we started sketching our prototype and sketching the rocket. We also started to think about final solution for the rocket and worked on the website.
Dec 02, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 3
Today we finalized main egg capsule idea and started thinking of materials to bring in. We also worked on the website and have the first page done.
Dec 05, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 4
We looked through materials to bring in. Beginning and finalizing the 3D Model on sketchup of the escape capsule. We also pinned the fleece so we know where to cut when we finish with the 2D design.
Dec 06, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 5
We cut the fleece into individual patches of rectangles.We updated the expenditure sheet and finished the rocket 3D model and planned the rest of the process of building the physical model.

12:00 PM
Day 6
The group modified the rockets overall design. We started putting dates on calendar and made a better materials list.
Dec 08, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 7
We started construction on the Escape Capsule and started to finalize the 3D model. We finalized the 2D model and also updated the expenditure sheet. We got materials approved by NASA and got started on designing the final design of rocket had used a resource for info "Nine Real NASA Technologies in 'The Martian'" NASA. NASA, 19 Aug. 2015. Web. 08 Dec. 2016.

12:00 PM
Day 8
Started construction of the rocket and updated expenditure sheet. Signed 2 contracts and finalized Hab orthographic drawing.
Dec 12, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 9
Finalizing egg contraption and started construction on rocket. Finished updating website.
Dec 20, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 15
Today we finished the rocket construction and are finalizing the website. The website still has some but not much work left to do.

12:00 PM
Day 16
Today we found out that our rocket had to much weight and that we need to lose some of it. Our rocket use to weigh 6.5 oz after getting a quail egg, removing the nuclear missile and shrinking the capsule the weight is 3.8 oz. So today the rocket is completely done and ready for launch tomorrow.

12:00 PM
Day 17
The rocket launch was a success for the most part. the Quail egg survived, but the parachute didn't deploy or it didn't go high enough. When inspecting the rocket remains we found that the parachute had been burned along with the bottom of the white tube.

Day 10
Egg drop test was a success and the egg experienced no damages. We made revisions to rocket nose and egg capsule. Finished working on the website and got better designs on the rocket website.
Dec 14, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 11
We started to build our actual rocket and glued on the fins. We also fixed our hot glue gun and made the engine for our rocket.
Dec 15, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 12
Started to calculate Center of pressure and find out what the variables mean. Kept updating website and trying put video on website. Currently we are continuing to construct the rocket.
Dec 16, 2019
Research
Day 13
Constructing the rocket and facing the size problem of the 3-D printed item. Calculating the Center of Pressure so we can have a successful rocket.
Dec 19, 2016
12:00 PM
Day 14
Re-calculating center of pressure. Documenting EDP on website. Continuing construction of rocket.
