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.

ROCC Midland update as of 11/22: (Update Tues. eve.)

DateTuesday, November 24, 2020 at 8:52PM
UPDATE: Weather is looking fair right now, winds from the north and north west during the day, topping 6 MPH. PLEASE stop by the ROCC Face book page and let us know if you're planning to attend, we're currently at about 25 folks of our max of 50. 
I just got back from some maintenance on the launch equipment out in Midland. The fields are clear, the equipment in in good shape and it looks like we're ready for a launch on Saturday November 28th. Also it looks like the house is unoccupied, we'd need to check with Kip if that's the case if we want to move farther up the field.
Weather looks a bit dicey, with a 30 - 40 percent chance of rain (of course it is!) but Sunday at the moment looks worse. We'll see how the long range forecast pans out this week.
Masks will be required at the pads, sign in tables, RSO, etc., and optional if you're at your car with your own "bubble" folks. We will have bottles of hand sanitizer at each location and spray down the pads several times during the day. Remember to practice your social distancing and don't congregate in large groups.
Remember we're under an NC imposed 50 person limit so we'll need to know if you're coming. If you'll leave expected the number in your party in the comments we can get an estimate of how many are planning to attend. If it looks like we're going to be way over we'll need to do something about that.
Ken is on the schedule to be with us so bring that shopping list!
I'll post more once we get closer to the date, have a great T'giving!
