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.

No ROCC Launch Sunday December 21st

DateSaturday, December 20, 2008 at 7:00PM

Everyone:

Despite the gloomy outlook for this afternoon�s (Dec 20th) weather we had a great turnout and a lot of great flights before, during, and after the rain. Clean up was really wet and a lot of equipment needs to dry out. Including the grounds around the silo. I got my truck stuck in the mud and special thanks to Brad for helping me out.

Here is the deal. The grounds/runway will be too wet, especially if the rain does not end till mid morning, to drive on. Kip gave me another reminder today that we all need to make sure we travel up and down the runway on one side on the other to keep from making tracks. NO DRIVING DOWN THE MIDDLE

This other issue is the winds are predicted to be 15-20MPH tomorrow afternoon behind the front. That�s above the safety threshold of 15MPH. There are just too many obstacles to try and overcome and fly so we are scrubbing the launch.

See everyone in January.

Sincerely,
Ralph Roberts
ROCC Prez and Prefect
