Description

2016: Ever since i was a young boy i wanted to build a rocket that could go high in to the sky. The end project should be able to record flight data and be able to send it back down to the ground in real time.

Update 2019: This rocket was able to fly to a hight of 2010 ft (615m). Flight data was recorded using an Arduino Uno.
