For nearly a decade, the Houston Spaceport has been a campus where ideas and technology come together to solve critical problems at the cutting edge of human achievement.
It starts with its location - in the country’s fourth largest city, making it unique among other federally licensed spaceports offering unprecedented access to a thriving Aerospace community. As the world’s first truly urban commercial Spaceport, Houston Spaceport offers unmatched business opportunities for Aerospace and Aviation companies of any size. The Spaceport is on the southeast side of Ellington Airport, a mixed-use, general aviation airport with nearly 400 acres of limitless potential for expansion and development.
To date, the Houston Spaceport has hosted some of the most groundbreaking achievements in Aerospace and Aviation, including:
Designing, building, and testing the world’s first successful commercial lunar lander (Intuitive Machines).
The world’s first detonation of room temperature storable liquid fuels in a rotating detonation rocket engine (Venus Aerospace).
Construction of the world’s first and only commercial space station assembly facility (Axiom Space).
Designing and testing the world’s first commercially available EVA suit (Collins Aerospace).
We have a proven track record of making the leasing process easy and effective:
Attractive incentive packages tailored to your business’s specific needs.
The permit process is simple and fast because the Houston Spaceport is a permit issuer (Houston Airport System).
Shovel-ready sites allow tenants to build in any configuration they require.
