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.

March ROCC Launch Weather Update Friday AM

DateThursday, March 13, 2008 at 11:02PM

Everyone:

This is a hard weekend to call, we have strong winds out in front of a strong cold front moving in.

As of Thursday late forecast Saturday looks rough. The forecast of severe weather weighs heavy on our decision. So, this will not be official until 5:00pm Friday afternoon as we understand more the dynamics of the upper level disturbances and the front and its position by late afternoon. Please check back tomorrow evening for more updates.

That said we are leaning for a scrub of the launch Saturday and going for a one day launch Sunday. However, winds are not in our favor on Sunday behind the front and we may have to call Sunday due too high winds.

We understand the TARC teams are running out of time and only have a few more weeks to get their qualifying flights in. So we feel that we will attempt a one day make up launch on Saturday March 22nd from 11:00-7:00.

Ken please advise your schedule for March 22nd, lets us know if you could come down pending the launch.

More to come,
Ralph Roberts
