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.

Next scheduled weekend is December 20th & 21st.

Set Up :   Volunteers show up at 0900/0930 to help setup.

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

Launch ends :   Approximately around 5:00 to 5:30 PM so we have some light to close up by.

ALLWAYS, Check the Web Site for any possible last minute changes.

Ken Allen, Performance Hobbies. Scheduled to be with us both days.

Remember that this is a working farm and it is the winter season. Dress accordingly, sturdy, warm 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.

Anyone who runs a Grill or Fire-Pit is responsible to have a separate fire extinguishing system of their own on hand at your site.

 Rocket Raffles.

We have acquired a number of small, medium and larger Low Power rockets that we will be Raffling off at almost every launch. The funds will go to the club to boost our treasury.

 Pictures. WE Want More.

Any pictures you take from any recent or upcoming launch that you would like to get posted on the web site for our embarrassment and your entertainment, just contact Doc Russell at "rocketrycarolina at gmail dot com" or as some have done, pass it on a disk or flash drive. We can always get it back to you.
