ignition - blastoff - ascent
then comes apogee 🦊❤️
Yesterday we went to a model rocket launch with my son Kevin’s girlfriend’s family. It was a blast. Pete launched two rockets, one over 7 feet tall and a three footer. It was a perfect day for rocketry except for when I tried to cross a drainage ditch on a soybean field to retrieve one of the rockets. My foot sunk into a stew of very disgusting goo.
Apogee is the maximum altitude reached by a rocket before it descends. 🦊❤️
