The Proceedings of Cygnus III
Blog throughout the weeks of the Cygnus project by members of the Cygnus 3 team.
Entry from Joe

Well this week was good but not as good as I wanted it to be.  We created this really good design using plastic piping, cardboard, straws, and rubber bands. We created a bubble out of the plastic piping to protect the egg and then created a case using straws that the egg could sit in.  We then created a base using two square pieces of cardboard with batteries in each corner.  Than we suspended the egg by attaching rubber bands  to its case.  The whole problem with are Lander was that the case the egg sat in was flawed.  The egg would hit a post holding the egg in with too much force, cracking the egg.  We need to find a way to reduce the force!!!
