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.

Curiosity... watch the build!

DateSaturday, October 23, 2010 at 8:01PM

Hey all. 2 days ago a ustream feed went live that is just too cool... the clean room where they're building the next Mars rover, the enormous Curiosity. Check it out HERE.

This thing is, for a rover, HUGE! Its about 8 feet long, 6 feet high without things deployed, the wheels are like 20 inches in diameter, it's like they put Spirit in an up-scale ray.

Thanks to Phil Plait, The Bad Astronomer, for pointing it out.... DR
