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.

Short notice, but May 31st launch in VA

DateThursday, May 29, 2014 at 7:16PM

This, from former ROCC member Bob Schomer:

"Hi Ralph, Mike, Giovanni and Chuck,

 I am not as plugged in to the VA/NC rocketry community as I would like to be and I would like to invite you to a launch this coming weekend.  Originally this was planned as a 2 day Tripoli Commercial launch, but I'm not sure we have the numbers to justify a two day launch, but I am willing to do that if it make a difference to fliers coming from farther away.

 Our launch site is a good size with waivers to 9,000 AGL.  I would strongly recommend dual deployment for anything over 4K and need to have the right conditions for anything over about 6k.  Wildman VA Kevin Dunn will be there on Saturday and preorders are encouraged.  The field is decent, with hills and a fair amount of flat ground with a good size clearing of about 3,000 by 4,000 feet with only about 5% trees and then about 30-60% trees further out.  There is the New river to the south about 4,000 feet away from our main launch site.

 If anyone has any questions about our launch site or our launch you can refer them to our website (nrvr.org) or send them my email address.  Our hopes are to have monthly launches throughout the year.  We are also looking at a potential site that's almost 1 mile by 3/4 mile with no trees and is flat as a pool table near Wytheville VA, but that won't happen for a while still.

Thanks

 Bob Schoner

TRA #143, New River Valley Rocketry "

So, if you're icthin' to fly and want a pleasant drive up into VA, then head on up!  dr
