Adventure Blog 3 Mars Lander
The purpose of this project was to design and build an egg drop. The lander had to land upright and the egg cant crack. We couldn't use packing material, liquids, balloons, or any food products. I designed my egg drop to spin and deploy a parachute which reduces air resistance causing a slower more controlled landing. It has a pillow fluff and cotton balls to help protect the egg on impact. My velocity was an average of 2.30 seconds every 8 feet. My egg drop will be successful on launch day because it doesn't have much air resistance and the egg has only a small amount of impact.
