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.

ROCC Update March 15th & 16th (FRIDAY PM)

DateFriday, March 14, 2025 at 1:14PM

ROCC Update Friday afternoon...

Taking all of the weird weather prediction changes and Sunday's certain rain into account we're going to push back to the 22nd/23rd of March.

Ralph spoke with Ken and he's available for next weekend, long range weather looks decent and with any luck it'll be less windy.

See you folks next weekend.

Well, we've been struggling with getting the weather figured out. On Wednesday it was going to rain both days, then Wednesday night it looks like it's just going to rain all day Sunday. Saturday looks like it's cloudy, 10 or 15% chance of rain and fairly windy... up around 15mph.

As of right now (Thursday @4pm) we're planning for a Saturday only launch because Ken is available.

HOWEVER... if the burn ban due to the high winds is in effect Friday evening then I don't see how we'd be able to fly on Saturday. I for one don't have "Cause massive blaze by accident" on my bingo card.

I wish I could be more certain but weather is what it is and our season has been spotty at best this year. If we push back then we'll try for the next weekend, the 22nd & 23rd.
