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.

Sounding Rockets... they're still useful!

DateWednesday, March 7, 2012 at 6:57AM

This from NASA: 5 sounding rockets are going to be launched from Wallops Island to study winds in the jet stream above 100 km. LINK to article on Arstechnica

From THIS article on the NASA web site it looks like you'd need to be east of Raliegh to see them.

I just think that it's cool that after all this time they still launch from that facility and still use one of the things that got me interested in the hobby back in '66... sounding rockets.

Very cool Doc. I wonder why NASA bothers to paint them. Perhaps I should give them a call.
