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.

Rest in Peace Darell Mobley (Founder/Owner of Rocketry Planet)

Essential details:

Darell Mobley the founder and owner of Rocketry Planet appears to have passed away 3 days ago.  I have not been able to talk with his family (I don't know how to) nor have I had direct confirmation otherwise but the age and location fit and he has not posted in the past 3 days. 

I sent a silk flower arrangement to the funeral from Rocketry Planet, and I plan to work with the family if I can to help migrate this site to other ownership if anyone wants it.  Depending on what they request we'll see what to do.

I have no word on how to send the family messages yet but I will work on this.

From the Fla. paper:

MOBLEY- Mr. Darrell Dwayne Mobley, age 54, of Macclenny, Fla. died 8/9/11. GUERRY FUNERAL HOME, Macclenny, Florida.

With the deepest sympathy we extend our condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed by a great number of people both in and out of the rocketry community.

I flew the maiden flight of my Formula54 rocket today at the Scout demo with an F37 in his memory. It was a great flight and the nicest rocket I own has a personal message in his memory on the fincan. I think Michael got a liftoff pic.

I think what we did with the scout outreach toady is exactly the kind of thing that Darrell would have appreciated.

Rest in Peace, Darrell.

Sandy.

Might I suggest that we make a contribution to either NAR or TRA in his name from the club?

I second Doc's motion. A donation in his memory is a great idea.

I third that motion.
