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.

Attention: Midland Field CLOSED for the season

DateFriday, May 3, 2024 at 4:29PM
Attention ROCC'ers...

I got word from Kip through Ralph, the Midland Farm site is Closed for the season.
As you know if you've been to the last couple launches the wheat is shooting up like crazy due to the double nitrogen dose it got, so it's heading out incredibly fast this year. Once it reaches the head stage it's very fragile so we don't want to walk through it to recover rockets.
On top of this the folks at Bayboro got bumped by early planting as well, so the only going concern as of now is Rocketry South Carolina in Dalzell.
It turns out that they are flying this weekend, May 4th & 5th. Then again on June 8th & 9th. The schedule is here: https://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.org/pages/2024LaunchSchedule/
(I thought they weren't flying until next weekend, sorry)
So if you've a hankerin' to go flyin' it looks like tomorrow (!) or the 2nd w'end in June.
TB/dr
