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.

Rain, Rain go away!

Not a fun post to write, but it's probably best to do this.

Since the 11th we've gotten just short of 2" of rain in the USGS gauge down the road from the Midland farm. Wednesday night through Friday morning there's about another inch on the way. That makes about 3" in a week. There's no way that the field is going to be in any shape to support vehicle traffic no matter how gentle we are.

Next week however looks to be mostly dry all week, save a few small showers.
Myself and the other officers are in agreement that the best thing to do is to push off to the 27th & 28th weekend and let the place dry out a bit. Ken would also be able to be with us, (back from MDRS and the snow in MD this weekend).

So we'll see you on the 27th and better weather!
