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.

UPDATE 4-15 PM - April 17th & 18th launch weather looking good

Updating Thursday PM..., we're still looking good for Saturday & Sunday. Weather looks to be good for both days. Highs in the upper 60's, realatively light winds. 

Saturday I'm going to concentrate on rocket retrieval, we've got at least 4 rockets in the treeline that I'm going to try and get back for folks.

Set-up I'll set for 9:30, launch commencement at 10:30.

Please remember your social distancing and mask control. We're not out of the woods yet. A longtime friend of mine currently has 4 different family members either in the hospital, on a ventilator, or at home with it, we're certainly not over this whole thing yet. Stay safe, stay vigilant. 

See ya there!  - Doc R.

 

 

Monday morning, I'm looking at weather for the upcoming weekend, April 17th & 18th, it's looking good.

Highs in the upper 60's & low 70's, reasonable cloud cover, decent winds and low rain possibilities all week. 

We'll check back in a couple days but hopefully we'll have a great weekend. Ken is scheduled to be with us on Saturday only, he's going to MDRA on Sunday (Drive safely Ken!)
