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.
Our belated January launch, delayed by temps in the teens and then a week of rain that flooded the lower fields, finally was held on the first weekend in February. We weren't the only ones suffering delays, the folks in SC had their launch delayed as well, happening on the same weekend. Roy has gone through our launch cards and deciphered our hieroglyphics and produced the following launch report. You know what to do... click that "Read More" link and have fun. - TB/dr
Hey ROCC'ers... looking to the weather, it looks really iffy this weekend. Rain through till dawn on Sunday from what Ralph, Roy and I are seeing. Stay tuned! The launch might (probably) move again unfortunately.
We had a nice new years launch on the 30th, it was good to see some regulars and some long lost friends. I'm filling in for Roy in deciphering all the flight cards to generate the launch recap. Please hit the "Read More" link to see the whole thing.
Hey ROCC'ers, we've got decent weather for Saturday 12/30 for an end of year launch.
Set-up at 10AM so it warms up a bit, fly 11 - 4:30 or so.
Ken WILL be on site.
See ya there!
Another launch is in the bag and Roy's done it again, writing up all of our flights, deciphering our chicken scratches into something readable. So settle in, warm up that bowl of rice pudding or Christmas cake and read on my friends...
Roy has gone through all the launch slips and figured out our chicken scratches to bring you the first 2023 Midland Launch Report! Please click the "Read More" link to read all about it.
