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.

November Launch information as of 11/5/09

DateThursday, November 5, 2009 at 3:29PM

Farm Crops may be out of the Field = Tentative Launch
If Kip sticks to the schedule he mentioned to Ralph we may have a launch this month on our normal 3rd weekend (21 - 22 Nov). Stay tuned to here for more info.

Update (via Ralph):
Spoke to Kip tonight (11/04/09).
The front field, next to the house, was cleared today. He says the field next to the Wind Sock is still drying down. He thinks by early next week it will be ready. He feels we can go ahead and post the schedule for Nov. 21st, 22nd. Baring an equipment malfunction we should be ready to fly. He will contact us when the harvest is complete.

Doug: please check on Waiver status, I believe we had to renew by December 31st last year. Let�s get that paper work in plenty of time for the renewal.

Back to Brad's original note:

Performance Hobbies on Site
Ken Allen has said he will be on site assuming we have a launch. It's been a long dry spell so if you have any of those special projects planned now's the time to contact Ken and make sure he brings you the goods.
Or, if you need to ask a question, call him at (202)723-8257.

NAR HPR Competition Rules
Any interest in running something like this in January? This is officially announced now. The official (provisional) rules are located here. It would be nice to have a HPR contest on tap for one of our winter launches. Pick out your favorites and discuss this.

Thanks
Thanks to all who help make this a great club. We have had good participation with setup and tear down and plenty of additional help in other areas. Pat yourselves on the back - you make this club a great place to have fun.

Sincerely,
Brad Shea
ROCC President
