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.

Rockey club activity for May

Hey hey hey Everybody....

ROCC Sec Roy here to remind everyone that due to the Barley crop out on the farm and our support and participation in the NAR, National Sport aunch 2008 in OrangeBurg SC Memorial Day Weekend, We will NOT have a regular 3rd weekend ROCC Launch out at the farm for the month of May.

ROCC Prez Ralph wants everyone to know however =
Since we are donating our equipment to the NSL 2008, launch in Orangeburg May 24th,25th, and 26th I suggest we have a launch equipment cleanup day and work day at the Farm say about Saturday afternoon May 17th from 1:00-4:00. This would include prep time for the new rocket motor magazine safe, Brad, line up your welder. Sandy, I'll get the specs on the hoods by this week. I would like to have all the equipment cleaned and checked out for Todd and Terry to delivery to Orangeburg on Friday May 23rd.
Maybe get together at Bob's Dinner down the road afterwards.

Important: The NSL pre-registration deadline (13 May) is coming up soon for the NSL 2008 launch so please sign up ASAP. The NSL launch will provide a great opportunity for us to participate in a National launch on a great field.
Please try to attend.
You can register on site per day or for the weekend if your not sure. More news to follow, so please stay tuned.

NSL 2008 web site for info, hotels, flight pre-registration.

It's easy to get to Orangeburg.
Take I-77 south to Columbia SC.
Merge onto I-26 south at Columbia to Orangeburg.
Exit at exit 154-A and the SuperSod Farm will be about 1/2 mile on the left.

The whole trip is aprox 2 hour 40 min (legal speed) from my location in the University area of Harris Blvd.
