We thank the Coca Cola Bottling Co. of San Diego for donating the 2-liter bottles.

Annual Water Bottle Rocket Launch  -- Fun for the Whole Family

Our Section is again proud to host the Water Bottle Rocket Launch.  This year’s event is being held on Saturday, May 16, 2009, at the Peñasquitos Creek Park in Rancho Peñasquitos, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.

All of the rocket launching equipment and helpers will be provided.  You can build your rockets then and there with empty bottles or you can bring the rockets that you already built.  Plain 2-liter bottles can also be launched.  Everyone will have an opportunity to make several launches and to modify their rocket design and/or propellant ratio to optimize rocket performance.

This free event is open to the whole family.  Anyone who would like to participate can.    Bring your own picnic lunch and chairs.  Hope to see you there on May 16!

For questions, please contact Nip Shah (nip.shah@hs.utc.com or 858-254-7656).
