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.

April 27th & 28th launch update

DateFriday, April 26, 2019 at 4:14PM

Hello fellow rocketeers, it looks like we might actually be able to launch this weekend! The rain has mostly passed and it seems like the winds will be from the west moving down the runway toward the road on Saturday. 

Sunday's wind forecast is a bit more problematic, it's supposed to both gain in strength and shift more to the north east which puts recovery into the very tall barley and our favorite neighbor. 

That said, if you're thinking about flying this weekend I'd make it Saturday as we may have to call Sunday because of winds. 

Ken will be with us, as well as a group of about 8 or so kids from a school launch with Brad Shea. Last time they came out they had a blast (pun intended!)

Since we had some rain on Friday I'd like to start the set-up at 10 am and aim range open at 11. That'll give the morning sun and breeze time to dry us out a bit before we all decend on the field. 

See ya there!    dr
