Upcoming Launch Schedule

ROCC 2023-2024 Launch Schedule:

All launches are at the Midland, NC site unless otherwise stated.*

Midland is Closed for the season

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.

April Launch Preview

DateTuesday, April 14, 2009 at 5:39PM

Campout Time!

The Magazine is Open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Through a lot of phone calls, Internet searches, and Brad's hard work with the ATM group at his bank. We found a gentleman in CA that knows this lock and safe. Through some recommendations, persistence, and prayer the lock finally powered up as designed and Ralph was able to open the center lock. We are in!!!!!!!!!!!! So come and fly your stuff, no excuses.

Ralph reminded me that next month is the date we picked for the annual ROCC Camp-out launch. If you are interested I am starting a discussion thread about the event.


No On-site Vendor - But a Few motors are available
Ken Allen has other commitments and will not be attending our launches again until Fall unless somehow we have a change in either his or our scheduled dates. He did leave some Single Use F and some AMW/Pro-X G motors and cases for me to hold. I will post a list and prices. These are being sold by Ken and I am only providing a home for them and transport to/from the field. I am happy to do this since we have no vendor on site for a few months but I am not interested in carrying a lot of stuff.

Setup Time
The days are longer now that the sun is staying in the sky later. Do we want to switch to an 11am setup and Noon start? On Sunday's in particular the crowd does not show up until later in the day in the first place.

Food
I suspect that we will see some baked goodies from our friendly TARC team members.

NAR HPR Rules
As some may have known I have been serving on the team drafting the NAR HPR rules. I have not been the primary contributor - just a guy to bounce ideas off of. I'm not 100% thrilled with where things have gone but it's a start. I have a draft of the rules available. I will try to post these online later this week. I am interested in running one or more of these as a provisional event. I would love to see this happen in April - let me know if this works in the discussion on this topic.

Help!
As always help out as much as you can. We're going to need RSO/LCO's and we'll need help on the setup and tear down.

Sincerely,
Brad Shea
ROCC President
