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.

Dragstrip streamer

DateThursday, January 3, 2008 at 5:29PM

Bob Bernatchez sent me this scan of an old Apogee Components kit, the design of which came from a NAR tech report (how's that for a convoluted lineage?)to make a high-drag streamer for the b-streamer event.

I put it into a folder on our site, here's the LINK

Bob was trying various materials to try and replicate the material that Apogee used. I made one with 4" wide mylar from Totally Tubular and it seems to hold a fold very well.
