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 siteHERE
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.
hate to say it, but it'll never happen. the target is for 3-5 presidential terms away. Obama's asteroid trip is just like Bush's Moon/Mars trip. Far enough out that it will get cancelled by the first person from the other party to get elected. Anything you want to complete must be so far along that it can't be cancelled without being a clear case of partisan 'not on my watchedness'. Anything further than 2 terms is effectively never in NASA.

Sure hope this one gets funded.
Can I get one of those for my L3 project?

Nice eye candy, but it will never fly.
