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.

January 15-16 Update (Wednesday evening)

DateWednesday, January 12, 2022 at 8:37PM
Weather, weather, weather... everyone's lookin' at the weather!
So, writing this Wednesday evening, it's looking like Saturday is going to be reasonably decent if things don't speed up.
The bad stuff isn't supposed to get here until late Saturday, like 10 or 11 in the evening.
Sunday in all the forecasts looks like a washout. It's currently anywhere from an inch of snow (Accuweather) to 6" (Wunderground) by the end of Sunday.
Winds on Saturday are reasonable until after 4 PM or so, then shoot up sharply. The big unknown on Saturday is how fast the ceiling will drop with the approaching weather front.
Lastly, I have to be on a shoot Saturday morning, until about 1 PM. I hope to see you on the field after that.
Setup will probably be at 9, the earlier the better most likely.
Wish us all luck!!!
TB/dr
