Our monthly launches occur on the 2nd Saturday of the month, conditions permitting. We hold multi-day ROCStock events in April and November. Our FAA waiver is to 7,000′ AGL.

PLEASE NOTE –

ROC has established the following weather guidelines for cancelling a launch. If the temperature at the lakebed will be close to 100 degrees by 11am, more than a 50% chance and 1/4″ of rain in the forecast at the lakebed or it rained recently on the lakebed and is soggy we will most likely cancel a launch. However since weather forecasts and conditions can change daily a decision will not be made until 3-4 days before a launch. If we do have to cancel for any reason an official message will be posted here on our main webpage, our Facebook page and on our e-mail list ROC-chat. IF NO MESSAGE IS POSTED THEN A LAUNCH IS HAPPENING AS SCHEDULED. If a lauch is cancelled, or you just want to launch on your own, anyone is welcome to go out on their own anytime. Just be aware that there will be no facilities and you must use motors G impulse and below.
