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.

New Videos on the ROCC Channel, and a reminder...

DateTuesday, January 25, 2011 at 8:41PM

I got the videos from Sandy to upload at long last (I don't know why they didn't want to go, but it's taken me several tries to get 'em up there) but they're up now and there's some great slo-mo footage, as well as some great shots from "Crazed Pink", a 2 stage flight. Check 'em out on the ROCC YouTube Channel link.

Now the gentle reminder. Please consider renewing or joining the ROCC ranks by paying your dues. It's not much, heck, $20 bucks get's you a membership and a regular T-shirt! (The long sleeves are $5 more by the way, they cost us more to make)

We use these funds to supply the porta-john, keep the equipment in working order, make the signs and pay for the expendable supplies like wadding and launch slips. We try very hard to use them wisely. If you've already "re-upped", a big THANK YOU. If you're a new member, a HUGE THANK YOU!

We're looking forward to our February launch, remember that we'll hold "formal" elections, if you'd like to nominate someone please let us know. We've spoken to all the current folks and they've all agreed to stay if no one else wants the job(s).

Lastly, think about volunteering for set-up, tear-down, LCO & RSO. If you want to do RSO you need to be L2, LCO can be L1, and for almost anything else, you just need to be willing to do it.

Thanks to all who make this a great section/chapter. You make me want to keep showing up even if I don't get to launch anything!

See you in February!

DR

Well, now that I'm officially an L2 (woo-hoo!) I can help with the RSO duties too. And since I'm too poor to launch now, maybe that and LCO is the best I can do. . .

Thanks for a great launch on a cold Saturday and a perfect (2600ft - apogee chute - back to the pad within 30 ft) Sunday.

Looking forward to February (my birthday is Feb 18, BTW, so feel free to contribute to my fund. I600, J350, H225. . . I'm not picky!!!).

Glad to be
with ROCC!!!

Sandy.

Sandy, you need an I-800 and a very slow motion camera to catch the lift-off. Give it to yourself as your 200th birthday present since you may not be around to collect it on the actual date.

Got a comment over on YouTube that "It's the best staging I've ever seen..." Cool.
