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.

We are going to proceed toward a Sunday launch, and hope that we get at least a bit of rain tonight and tomorrow to keep the fire danger in check. We have both Nomex and wool blankets for the HP pads, NO SPARKIES will be launched. 

Normal set-up on Sunday, 10:00 AM, with tear-down around 6 or when we can't stand the heat any more. It's supposed to be 95 or so on Sunday so dress comfortably and bring SUN SCREEN!

We'll have just the newer system for this one so we'll need to keep the LP pads rolling and not let them sit too long.I'm collecting parts for the new launch system right now, and hope to have it ready for our September window. (crops permitting!)

So I hope to see you all out there, keep an eye on the site for last minute updates!

Cheryl and myself could make it for Sunday if its a go. Her first and only one launch rocket, Glitter Girl, could not be salvaged and she's been itching for over a month now to try the new Glitter Girl II. LOL

I don't think that I can make Sunday. Should we contact a VFD for fire protection? DId we receive the Nomex blankets that were a possibility for the NAR safety grant? Our names in the paper for a brush fire might not be a great PR move.
