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.

Freedom Flight has been Cancelled

DateFriday, September 3, 2004 at 4:29AM

From the WWW.TRIPOLISC.ORG website:

Freedom Launch Cancelation
Folks,

This has been a most difficult decision for your leadership to make. We realize the
current predicted path of Frances takes it below South Carolina. Florida will take
the brunt of the storm and it is predicted at this point to go into Alabama and
western Georgia. However, keep in mind this is a very large storm and it reaches far
beyond the path of its eye.
After checking NOAA, Weather Channel, and local weather sources, it appears the
winds will be high starting Saturday afternoon with storms and rain settling in for
the remaining days. Safety and fun are our primary concern. A major concern is for
our members and guests who may be traveling through the path of the storm.

Risking a launch during this time doesn't seem like the right call to make.
Remember, we love to fly as much as the our members and guests. We just feel the
risk does not out weigh the benefits. We look forward to seeing you at another
launch, but we feel we must cancel the Freedom Launch festivities.

If you have reservations at the Days Inn (803-534-0500), don't forget to call and
cancel. We'll see you guys on the field in October!

Sincerely,

Eric Benner, ICBM Prefect
Bobby Weatherford, NAR Senior Technical Advisor
Mike Mixon, ICBM Treasurer
Randy Trotter, NAR Treasurer
