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.

July update, and a memorial. 

DateSaturday, June 30, 2018 at 8:39PM

We got a report back from Ralph (he had the magazine inspection last week with the ATF) and the corn has shot up from all the rain and sunshine. It's not feasable to have a launch in July, so it looks like we'll be off the Midland field until the fall. 

That said, as you have read Kips mother, Dene Williams, passed away right before out regular June launch weekend. Her wishes were that any memorials be made in her name to the Crooked Creek Primitive Baptist Church Cemetary fund. We've been chatting about what to do and between John, Ralph and myself we thought that a sum of $150 to the fund would be appropriate. Kips family, both he and his dad have been instumental to where we are and our existance as a club. 

Since this is more of a personal thing, I am sending this out to the church this weekend in the name of the club.  If you'd like to participate, please send a check to John Bergsmith, our treasurer, at his home address, 1438 Piney Church Road, Concord, NC 28025. Make the check out to John. He'll keep track of anything we collect and anything over the $150 we'll send on to the church.

That's all for now, please think about taking a ride down to Camden SC and fly on their new field. I went down on June 9th and had a great time.
