Welcome
Houston Spaceport is an FAA-licensed, urban commercial spaceport offering unprecedented access to a thriving aerospace community. In addition to serving as a launch and landing site for suborbital, reusable launch vehicles, Houston Spaceport offers laboratory office space including technology incubator space and large-scale hardware production facilities.

It lies in Houston, Texas — the country’s fourth-largest city and a major hub for aerospace and aviation activities. Literally, no other commercial spaceport is located in a city larger than Houston, Texas
In addition to improving existing facilities and services, the Spaceport continues to find new and groundbreaking ways to increase value for tenants and partners and to change fundamentally what it means to be a resident business in an American spaceport.
Innovation lives at the very heart of aerospace. Partnering with NASA and key universities has always been integral to Houston Spaceport’s long-term vision of commercial aerospace leadership
As a launch and landing site for suborbital, reusable launch vehicles as well as a center for innovation, the Spaceport offers a number of attractive leasing opportunities.
