Mission successful . . . Sort of!

Whew! This was a very full day. It’s after 9:00 and we just got finished. Our mission went pretty well, except we forgot to close the payload bay doors before landing. Probably not a good idea. More on that tomorrow.

We also did a neat activity today where we made Mars landers to safely land an egg on the floor. Our lander had both a parachute and airbags. My team won the competition.


We also went back out to Marshall Space Flight Center where we saw the giant test stands where rocket engines are tested.
