Иштөө нускамалары
Follow these steps to accurately track the altitude of your model rocket:
- Даярдоо: Ensure you are at a safe distance from the launch pad, as per NAR (National Association of Rocketry) safety codes. A distance of at least 15 feet is recommended.
- Tracking the Rocket: As the rocket launches and ascends, use the sights on the Altitrack device to follow its trajectory. Keep the rocket centered in the sights.
- Locking the Reading: Continue tracking until the rocket reaches its apogee (peak altitude). At this precise moment, pull the trigger on the Altitrack to lock the degree wheel, saving the altitude reading.
- Reading the Altitude: Once the reading is locked, you can observe the angle on the degree wheel. This angle, combined with your known horizontal distance from the launch site, can be used to calculate the rocket's altitude.
