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.

February 19 & 20 update #2 Friday mid-day:

Well, the windy gods are having a time of it... at least we're not in England (70 mph gusts!).
The weather folks are all saying 15 sustained and gusts to at least 20 mph for Saturday, so we will NOT fly in Midland on Saturday.
Sunday is a GO, with much lower winds on Sunday, getting up to 6-8 by the end of the day. No rain in the forecast so the field will be dry at least. Set-up 9:30 on Sunday, fly as soon as we're ready to go.
Ken will be on site with us on Sunday as well, so bring your shopping lists.
See you all on the field!

OK, blame me, I did it...
Roy, Ralph, Ken and I have been having a chat about Saturday & Sunday.
Saturday is looking REALLY windy. Like up to 20 mph in the afternoon.
Ken is in MD, he's driving back Saturday afternoon, he'll be with us Sunday.
Here's what we're thinking. Unless the wind forecast changes for the better we may give this Saturday a miss so we can have a good day Sunday. I'll check the noon forecasts and we'll make a call on it and post to the website and FaceBook.
If we have to cancel Saturday we'll try and make it up in the next few weekends.
