Results of Altitude Measurement from Model Rocketry
launch for Yuma
Many thanks to the cadets who helped measure the altitudes
reached by our rockets during the recent rocket launch. Cadets used a sighting
protractor to measure the angle to the apogee of each rocket launch. We know
that they were located 500 feet from the launch pads. Through the use of simple
trigonometry tables for the tangent function we were then able to calculate the
launch altitudes for each rocket.
