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.

November 2020 Update as of 11/12

DateThursday, November 12, 2020 at 4:31PM

Hey everyone!

We're hopeful of getting back to flying at the Midland field... crops, COVID and weather permitting. We're waiting on an update from Kip about the crop staus which as you probably know needs a hard freeze and then about 10 days to dry out so he can harvest. Right now that hard freeze hasn't happened yet, so we're kind of in limbo right now. 

If we can't fly in November then we'll shift to looking toward December 19th. Ken has us on his schedule for that weekend and if the stars align we might actually make it!

Speaking of things aligning, on December 21st of this year Jupiter & Saturn will be at their closest conjunction since 1623, so you won't want to miss that. (Most of us weren't around for that one.) Here's a LINK to the Earth & Sky site about it.

Hope to see you all soon!
