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.

December ROCC Launch Postoned till Jan 2nd,3rd

DateSaturday, December 19, 2009 at 1:38PM

Everyone:

Update - Saturday Night 6:20PM

Rain totals in Charlotte reached at least 1", no Snow or Ice at Williams Farm. Kip said this morning they had a lot, Terry Baucom who live just South of the Farm got a lot as well. He had to dig trenches to drain his driveway. Upon inspection of the grass strip this afternoon at 5:00PM from the gate to the Windsock, it is still very wet, I could feel my tires slipping and sinking while driving and the water pools around your shoes when walking around on the runway. There are also puddles along the righthand side that normally drains well.

At this point Sunday is cancelled as well.

We expect that that water will freeze tonight the ground will begin thawing Sunday morning and becoming soggy again on top. Driving even on the edges of the runway will create tracks and mess up Kip's Runway. Not good!

What Next:
We are rescheduling for Jan 2nd and 3rd? Several officers have said this is doable for them.

Thanks,
Ralph Roberts
ROCC/Tripoli Charlotte Prefect
