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.

February preview

DateThursday, January 21, 2010 at 5:40PM

February 20th & 21st is the next launch weekend so here's a preview of a few things that'll be going on.

First, the Golf Ball loft contest. This is a contest to see who can loft a standard, regulation-weight golf ball and clock the longest flight on a B-impulse engine.

The rules are located on Rocketry Planet, but the basics are that the ball is timed, must be recovered on the field, and the ball can't fall off the rocket before it's launched if you turn it upside down. I think I'm the only one who has flown one so far, and I got an unofficial time of 44.25 seconds.

We'll be extending it into March but we want to show enough results to the folks at NAR so that they might want to add this to the roster of sanctioned events.

Looking ahead to April's launch we're organizing the H-power egg loft. Bob's sending in the paper work so that we'll be sanctioned for it. Check out the regulations on the NAR website under the high power rules.

More details later, but start building!
