After finishing of our project and doing some finishing touches to our lander. Our class finally was ready to drop the eggs containing in our lander. Here is the final lander, the only thing is that the strings wasn't knotted yet, but other than that it is the same lander.
Basically we had three drops our lander needs to survive in. First, was the stairs, second was the and Rotunda, and the last drop was in the Roof of the School Building. All the links are hyperlinked to the words that I said in the top.
As you guys saw if you watched all three videos, all the drops that we did, survived. It was amazing of how it cracked a little in the stair drop. Then in the rotunda it didn't crack, but when it came to the roof, our egg cracked big time. Fortunately the egg survived with an earthquake on the sides of the egg, with no liquid surrounding the egg.
Overall, the egg survived the adventures of the cliffs and still is alive till this only day. This of course, had some science behind this lander. First of all, according to the picture in the first paragraph as you see there is a parachute and under the pocket where we place the egg we placed a thin cardboard piece to act like a second parachute, that's mainly why it worked. The bamboo sticks on the sides also help the lander stay stable the whole time. It worked because our group really stuck together like a chain, and it never got broken. It was like a miracle because, when you watch the roof video really carefully you'll that when the lander impact the ground there was a loud sounder from the lander. I even heard it from the roof, for a second I thought DES 51 was dead. When my teammate took it out from the pocket the egg survived with a lot of scratches and scars. This indicates of how much effort he put in his adventure, to reach this far and to wit stand the fall from the cliff of TAISM.
