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.

Saturday, March 2 - Successful!

We had a couple of hours of snow flurries to deal with in the morning, but it cleared and provided some perfect launch weather. Winds were 5 or less, and the sun was out for a good portion of the day. 

We also helped members from a Boy Scout Pack earn their Space Exploration Merit Badge. I want to thank Tommy Propst for bring the scouts up to the field. Doug also helped a TARC team make some very successful flights.

So if you let snow flurries scare you off, you missed it! :)

A great launch once the snow stopped, with almost no upper level winds all day. Jerry's on-the-runway recovery from 3,500' proved that. I wish I'd gotten a video of Sandy's glider... looks like he's the one to beat! There's a few photos up, sorry there's not more but it was cold! dr
