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.

USLI going on this weekend in New Mexico

DateFriday, July 22, 2011 at 3:55PM

Just wanted to give a shout out to all of our USLI folks... for those not in the know, here's a link to a short music video highlighting the projects.

More info from the NASA website:

NASA University Student Launch Initiative, or USLI, is a competition that challenges university-level students to design, build and launch a reusable rocket with a scientific or engineering payload to one mile above ground level, or AGL. The project engages students in scientific research and real-world engineering processes with NASA engineers.

Interested teams may send faculty and/or student representatives to one of two Advanced Rocketry Workshops. The participants will be introduced to the University Student Launch Initiative and High Powered Rocketry. Additionally, participants will build and launch a high powered rocket to complete a National Association of Rocketry High Power Certification. Interested teams should contact Julie Clift (Julie.D.Clift@nasa.gov) to sign up for a workshop.

NASA Advanced Rocketry Workshop (co-hosted by the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium)
Dates: July 20-23, 2011
Location: Las Cruces, New Mexico (launch location will be Las Cruces, NM

Students propose to participate in USLI during the fall. Once selected, teams design their rocket and payload throughout the academic year. USLI requires a NASA review of the teams' preliminary and critical designs. The project also requires flight readiness and safety reviews before the rockets and payloads are approved for launch. Teams complete a Post-Launch Assessment Review to include conclusions from their science or engineering experiment and the overall flight performance. The Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review and Flight Readiness Review are conducted by a panel of scientists and engineers from NASA, NASA contactors and external partners.

The top-placing teams in USLI are invited to participate in USLI Level 2, which requires teams to design and build a reusable rocket and launch to an altitude of 10,000 feet AGL with water recovery at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

NASA Student Launch Projects are sponsored by ATK Aerospace Systems. The annual launch event is hosted at Bragg Farms in Toney, Ala., and launch services are provided by the National Association of Rocketry.


Good luck all!
