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.

Request for date change for April Rocket Launch

DateTuesday, March 21, 2006 at 5:33AM

Due to Easter falling on our normal launch weekend, we want to move our date so as not to conflict with everyone's Easter plans.
There was a discussion and a straw vote at the March Sunday launch of moving the April ROCC launch date to the last (5th) weekend of April, the 29th and 30th. By doing this it would provide a better weekend for having a camp-out launch. Also, since the Williams are going to plant Milo and Corn, it may be one of the last launches we can have before the corn really takes off.
Also, Ken Allen said he could come back on that weekend before heading to the summer launches up North.
Members in attendance were myself, Steve B., Roy Potter, Bob B, Terry Baucom, Tony Casey, Jim Crabtree, Mark Ferrel. The Sheas and the Lowes, however, they were not there when we had a straw vote. The consensus was to go ahead and move it.
I am polling the rest of the current membership for your opinion. Which would you prefer, the 4th or 5th weekend of April. Let me know over the next day or two and we will make a final decision.

Call me at 704-568-1070 or email me at roccprez at bellsouth dot net .

Also, there was a new joint statement released concerning the Fed vs Rocket Hobby court case and then what we fliers need to do posted by NAR and TRA. Basically, nothing has changed,if you fly HP motors you need a LEUP to purchase. The next court dates may run down into July before we hear anything else. I have just renewed my LEUP and I am expecting it any day. I can still grant permission letters for contingent storage in my magazine so let me know.
Thanks,
Ralph Roberts
