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.

Opportunity Lost with the Clean-Up day- Ralph,Club editorial

DateSunday, May 18, 2008 at 7:57AM

Brad, Doc, Roy, Ralph, Todd and Mark Canepa were the only attendees at the May ROCC clean-up day yesterday. It was very successful and our launch equipment is on its way to the NSL Launch.
Doc and Roy worked hard on clean-up and repair, I focused on clearing the grass around the magazine and organization and checkout of the launch equipment and Brad worked with our welder on a second motor storage magazine. A lot more work could have been accomplished but no one else showed. Hopefully, that means our ROCC members are going to the NSL launch next weekend. ROCC members will be asked to work two 2 hour shifts both Sunday and Monday. I hope those who go can help, will. Rocket clubs are an all-volunteer group, we don't get paid and we get by on the minimal club fees and dues we ask for. People ask for activities outside of launches, well we had one and nobody but the diehards showed.
Be sure that the next time you all attend a launch be sure to thank the volunteers who work so hard to keep the clubs going and always feel free to step-up and help yourself. Maybe the rocket-gods will smile on you one day when you need it.
