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.

I just got my copy of "The Circle", the newsletter of Mitchell Community College. Inside I saw an article about Neil Taylor and Richard Good, 2 of the students that participated in our launches this past season getting their project ready for the Level 2 USLI competition at NASA.

Well, they both got paid internships at Goddard Space Flight Center this past summer!

Neil was at GSFC's Lunar & Planetary Science Academy. He's a NASA Aerospace Community College Scholar, one of only 79 accross the country.

Richard's internship was at GSFC in their Small Heliophysics Satellite & Instrumentation lab. Interns are assigned to projects sponsored by NASA science and engineering mentors. In addition to research, they receive training in leadership and networking.

Both Neil & Richard are going to UNCC where they're pursuing engineering degrees this year.

Hats Off to you both! Well done and good luck this year.
