Upcoming Launch Schedule

ROCC 2024-2025 Launch Schedule:

NO launch in May due to the wheat. We hope to fly in June. 

 

 All launches are at the Midland, NC site unless otherwise stated.*

Here are some other launch opportunities in our area:

ICBM & ROSCO, better known as Rocketry South Carolina, flies near Dalzelle, SC., Just NE of Shaw AFB.  More information can be gotten at their site HERE

The Saturn Rocketry Club in Hendersonville is currently switching their launch field. As soon as we know where they land we will post it. Their FB site is HERE

NC Rocketry flies at Bayboro, NC in the northeast part of the state, information is HERE

 Set-up starts at about 9:30, launches commence about 10:30. Field closes about 60 min. before local dusk so we can clean up. Watch the site front page for specifics. Also visit us on FaceBook. You can also check for the FAA NOTAM at https://notams.aim.faa.gov/notamSearch/nsapp.html#/ and using KCLT (Charlotte) as the location. This will give you the starting and ending times for HP flights. 

* If field is available due to crops, etc.

Discussion > Space Day 2011

There's some discussion going on within the officers group about Space Day 2011, which is May 6th this year, and what if anything we should do.
To sum up, NASA sent us an email from their Space Place website that got the conversation going, Ralph had commented over the weekend that it might work better to bump our May flight ops up to get around harvesting of the barley crop, it's the 50th anniversary of Alan Shepard's first Mercury flight on the 5th, so as you can see there's a lot centering on that May 7 & 8 weekend.
What do you all think? Should we try and have a celebratory launch on that weekend? What could we do to commemorate space flight that would generate the kind of interest that we could get some nice publicity and student interest out of?
Please chime in.

I'm game for any good publicity, or just an excuse to do my L1 cert, whichever comes first.
