Adventure Blog 4 Mars Lander Results
I would consider my egg drop a success. It landed upright, the egg didn't crack, but it landed slightly next to the landing square. My egg drop is about a foot and a half tall, about two feet wing to wing and has about a six inch body. If I could've changed anything about my egg drop I would have added a better parachute. The parachute in the final design wasn't strong enough and ripped. If I could give one suggestion to someone doing this project I would tell them to add a lot of shock absorbers like cotton and pillow fluff. Even if you have a hard landing shock absorbers will prevent your egg from cracking.
