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.

NSL 2008 , What a Launch

DateTuesday, May 27, 2008 at 6:54PM

Everyone:


The NSL launch was this past weekend and I was happy to see a lot of ROCC members there. It was great to see all the good work everyone did to host the launch. Burl's wife Joanna helped get all the ROCC volunteers working and it was a good thing we worked cause it allowed the load to be spread more evenly, they were most appreciative of our efforts. The SoAR and ROSCO group were beat by the end of the weekend.

There were a lot of great flights and a few not so good, however, It was a great launch. The weather was awesome on Sunday and Monday with just a few breezy times. Hopefully, we will have some good pictures to post up soon.


I was checking the Rocketry Forum tonight and check this out. This is a reprint of Trip Barber's Post, just had to slide this in:

NAR National Sport Launch 2008


My thanks to Event Director Burl Finkelstein and all the team from
SoAR, ROSCO, and ROCC Sections (and the TRA SC Prefecture) for a job
well done in organizing and running a great, friendly NAR National
Sport Launch 2008 over Memorial Day weekend at the Super Sod launch
site in Orangeburg, SC.


Many members of the National Association of Rocketry and other
rocketeers from the Southest region benefited from their hard work and
skill in putting this event on and, like me, had a great time flying
rockets and socializing with new and old friends as a result. It was a
fine weekend of fun, friendships, and flying on an outstanding site.
Thanks to all of you who ran NSL 2008 for taking your turn in service
to the NAR by stepping forward to take this on.


Trip Barber
NAR 4322
NAR VP & National Events Committee Chairman
