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.

Aerotech delay adjustment now official.

DateSunday, January 8, 2006 at 4:44PM

For those of you who might have missed it, this is from the Aerotech website:

AeroTech has designed a Delay Drilling Adapter (DDA) that permits the adjustment of AeroTech 29 & 38mm high-power RMS-Plus� delay elements using the CTI� ProDAT� 38mm delay drilling device (ProDAT� not included, available separately from CTI� dealers).

Using the AeroTech DDA is simple. First, set the ProDAT� tool for the desired number of seconds to be reduced from the delay. Then, insert the DDA into the tool and drop the RMS-Plus� delay element into the well at the bottom of the DDA. Hold the delay in the DDA well with your finger, and rotate the adjustment tool for a few revolutions until the delay setting is complete. The delay element must be installed in the motor with the drilled end facing the propellant.

The depth of drilling required per second of delay reduction is slightly different when using the CTI� device to drill AeroTech delays. NOTE: Testing has determined that the previous announced calibration numbers were in error, when the delays were installed with the drilled end facing the propellant as recommended. The following numbers have been updated: A label on the AeroTech DDA translates the ProDAT� settings to the equivalent RMS-Plus� delay time reduction: -3 seconds reduction for CTI� motor delays is -2 seconds for AeroTech delays, -5 seconds reduction for CTI� is -4 seconds for AeroTech, -7 seconds reduction for CTI� is -6 seconds for AeroTech. and the -9 seconds reduction for CTI� is -8 seconds for AeroTech.

It is recommended that AeroTech delays not be shortened to less than 4 seconds actual delay time. Users should keep in mind that pyrotechnic time delay tolerance may be up to +/- 20% of the stated value.

The AeroTech DDA (P/N T062705-1) will be available from AeroTech's high-power RMS� product dealers in November, at a suggested retail price of $19.95.
