1. The Maroonstone Rocket
Flight Analysis

2. Project Overview
Effectively predict the flight path and landing of The Maroonstone Rocket
Simple as that……… or is it?

3. Equations of Motion Why include wind in our calculations
Can we ignore wind, lift, and drag and still achieve our goal?

5. Results
In order to make an accurate prediction of our landing site we must derive the E.O.M. with factors such as wind, lift, and drag.
Viewed from a different angle it is important to see why
