Cameron Wade's Excellent Adventure

NASA Wallops Flight Facility Trip Report: Cameron Wade, SpaceRef

“The next day, we went to the Wallops Flight Facility. We had a pre-mission briefing. There are lots of people who make sure the rocket goes up. Later we flew our model rockets. I had a payload of 4 dimes in my nosecone. My rocket didn’t go as high as some other ones did. All my dimes fell out in the ball field, so I didn’t get to keep them. We could see how the different payloads made the rockets go different amounts. My rocket still flew pretty high. It was fun to launch them. We practiced our presentation that night. We needed to look and sound good because we were representing our class and our school.”
