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.

11/23 Update 8 PM... (Mother Nature strikes again.)

DateSaturday, November 23, 2019 at 8:40PM

Update 8 PM Saturday evening, 11/23:

As of 8 PM this evening the rain gauge near Kip's farm has received .9 inches of rain and it's still raining. 

The field will not be usable on Sunday the 24th. 

We do have word from Ken that he's available on next weekend, the 30th, so with any luck we'll be able to launch. The coming weeks weather looks good, so keep your fingers crossed.

Unless you're living in a shoe in the forest with no cable then you've probably heard that heavy rain is an almost certainty for most of the day on Saturday, starting in earnest around noon. It looks like we'll need to try for the 30th unless all the weather sources turn out to be wrong. 

There is a glimmer of hope for Sunday if that predicted rain isn't as much as they are saying but we'll need a go from Kip once we know what happened over Saturday, so it may very well be that we'll not know before late Saturday or early Sunday. The thought of the officers is if we don't get too much we might be able to start around noon or 1 on Sunday and at least salvage an afternoon of flying. 

Say tuned to the website and/or the Face Book feed and we'll post as soon as we know something. 

Try to stay dry...  happy Thanksgiving if we don't see you before then!
