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.

Update on November 18th & 19th

DateWednesday, November 15, 2023 at 8:46PM
Just wanted to update folks, weather for the weekend looks good, winds look good, slightly better for Sunday than Saturday right now, but that's subject to change. Saturday has winds up to 12 mph at 1 pm, dropping away for the rest of the afternoon. Sunday is supposed to be much calmer.
South Carolina had to postpone from last weekend to this, so they will be flying the same weekend as we are.
Which brings us to Ken Allen with Performance Hobbies. He'll be with South Carolina Rocketry in Dalzelle on Saturday, then with us in Midland on Sunday.
Setup about 9:30, Figure on us getting set up by 11 since it's the first weekend back, it usually takes a bit longer to get set up the first weekend.
Fire risk. Mecklenburg county is included in the burning ban, so a few ground rules... First, NO Metal or Sparkie motors of any kind or power rating. Second I'd like to see nothing larger than a J motor. Kip is OK with us flying but lets not push our luck.
See you on the field!
TB/dr
