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.

October "Monster Mash-up" for Halloween

Okay, how many of you remember "Creature Feature"?

Maybe it wasn't called that in your home town, on that little UHF station that also played roller derby and mid-atlantic 'rasslin, but I'll bet you that you had something like it... bad special effects and all! OOOHHHHOOOO, SSSCCAAARRRRYYYY!

What we're talking about is a CONTEST WEEKEND!

Read On......

Here's what's up:

1. Random Duration, Weighting Factor of 10
2. Super-Roc Duration "A" Motors, Weighting Factor of 13
3. Egg Loft Duration "C" Motors, Weighting Factor
of 16

This launch has been moved back 1 week to give Kip a bit of extra time to get the fields cleared for us. Brad Shea & I will do our best to run the contest on both days, but be kind, it's the first contest either of us have ever tried to do. Bob, our contest guru, will be out west for most of the month of October on business unfortunately.

So come out with your best, scariest rockets and have some fun. Need some designs? Here's some links to some of the contest winners from the NAR website:
