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.

19th/20th launch is a GO

DateSunday, November 13, 2011 at 9:38AM

OK, so I didn't have a lot of time yesterday to get this up. Here's some follow-up...

Ralph got an email from Kip earlier in the week saying that the farm crops are in and we're good to go for the 19th/20th.

We spoke briefly yesterday at the scout launch (BTW, BIG Thanks to Ralph, Sandy, Adam & Brian for coming out to help, all were welcome and the kids, as well as some parents, had a great time) and here's what we worked out.

Set up as normal, 10 am, with launches to begin as soon as we're set up. The new launch system worked flawlessly yesterday so we should be good to go.

Che' Roberts is going to be open for business, doing the finest in tube steaks on his portable flame pit.

I'll bring some wood for the fire, if Roy might bring his little fire bowl. Weather looks good right now but chilly.

I'm going to write to Ken and see if he will be with us.

There is a scout troop coming one of the days and there may be a TRA L2 attempt. Brian Gossiax is going for his L1.

We can fly till about 5 but darkness decends early this time of year so come early, fly early and have a great time!

More details as they come...
