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.

2/2 Launch - GO! * Ralph will be onsite w/food

DateWednesday, January 30, 2013 at 7:33AM

When : Saturday, February 2, 2013

Where :   The Williams Farm. See Web Site for directions if you are new.

Set Up :   We need Volunteers!  Please be at the field at 9:30am.

Launch Start :   As soon as set-up is complete.

Launch ends :   Approximately around 5:00 PM so we have some light to close up.      

Weather at this time : 46 degrees, breezy – Dress Warm  

Ken Allen, Performance Hobbies, is expected to be onsite. 

Remember that this is a working farm, so dress accordingly, sturdy shoes and suggest you dress in layers so you can take layers off and on as the temperature changes. When the sun is shining at the farm it is like a solar collector out there with the open field so it can be 10 degrees warmer when the sun is clear than in the city. 

We are continuing with our Range Safety standards, although changes may be coming to this system. If you're a level 2, we need you to sign up for an hour of RSO duty.

 RSO=, Range Safety Officer to pre-inspect rockets before flights.

 LCO=, Launch Control Officer to check range conditions and control the launch’s in a timely and efficient manner.

Check both the WEB site and at the launch’s for info on volunteering for RSO (Cert Lv-2 required) and LCO (Cert Lv-1 preferred, but any responsible and experienced adult can apply).

Duty signups sheet will be at the front table for RSO, LCO, and equipment take down. Please remember to sign up. 

Check the Web Site for any possible last minute changes.

Weather is certainly a bummer, but I'd rather not lose the field due to tearing up the joint. dr
