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.

Saturday the 15th is scrubbed, but Sunday's a GO!

DateFriday, February 14, 2020 at 5:08PM

Hey all...  I just got off the phone with Ralph and Kip, we're going to err on the side of safety as far as the runway is concerned and give it Saturday to dry out a bit more. Friday has been the first real day with sun and good drying conditions but it will be very cold tonight which means the drying will get shut down a bit. The runway itself is still pretty squishy at 5PM on Friday. 

Having a good dry day tomorrow will mean that Sunday should be a good day. Winds are not supposed to be too bad, although they will be heading toward Mr' S's place, topping out at 6-7 mph about 3 pm. 

Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy. Even on Sunday anywhere you walk off the runway will be a mucky mess. We have had 4-plus inches of rain in the last 7 days so it's going to take a while for that to drain and get absorbed, especially in the low areas of the field. 

I will have NAR L2 testing materials with me so if anyone wants to take the written part it's good for 12 months after you take it to then complete your successful flight. 

I will set the waiver to open at 10 am, so as soon as we get set up we can start making some noise!
