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.

January 17th launch information

DateThursday, January 14, 2021 at 8:32PM

Update Thursday Night: Sunday is definately looking like the better day of the weekend, the rain on Friday night has increased a bit, and the wind forecasts for Saturday I've seen up to 20 mph now. Sunday tops at about half that, maxing out just below 10. 

We can not stress enough, we are in a pandemic and are expecting all attendees to act accordingly. Masks are to be worn unless you're at your car or making that long walk back to the portajohn. Pads, launch check-in, RSO, hanging out watching at the flight line... PLEASE wear your masks and keep your distance. The only reason we're still flying is we're outside and can spread out. I'd say even parking more spread out would be a good idea. 

Ken should be with us so bring your shopping list! 

Set-up at 10 AM, a bit later so the sun can get up and warm the ground a bit. We'll figure on flying from 11 till 4:30, leaving us enough time to pack up. 

Thanks everyone, hope to see you on Sunday.

 

Hey all you ROCC'ers, it's that time again. 

So we're looking at the weather and Saturday the 16th looks damp, with some showers over Friday night,  and windy as all get out, with winds about 15 mph. 

Sunday looks much better, with winds around 5-6 mph and no rain overnight. 

I'm suggesting to the board that we fly Sunday and not Saturday. I just don't think anybody would be flying in that kind of wind. 

Keep your eyes on the site and the FaceBook page HERE and we'll update probably Thursday afternoon or evening once we get a better forecast closer to the date.
