The only urban spaceport, Houston Spaceport is located on repurposed Ellington Field, and is a horizontal launch site with strong NASA and aerospace community relationships.  

Proposed as a dual-use air and space port, Midland International Air & Space Port is planned to continue commercial aviation flights parallel to future aerospace tourism.  

The first spaceport by designation, Mojave Air & Spaceport is a very active horizontal launch site facility for research and development, and is in the forefront of several new innovations.  

With both horizontal and vertical launch capabilities, Spaceport America is the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport.  

The Space Coast, including Cape Canaveral, has a long history of space innovation and performance both with rocketry and the space shuttle.  

Located in Cecil Airport, this spaceport acts as a public joint civil-military airport and spaceport serving military aircraft, corporate aircraft, general aviation, and air cargo. 

Oklahoma Air & Space Port is a public-use airport and spaceport capable of flights and launches, and the only spaceport not in restricted airspace or MOA. 

Primarily Vertical Launch Site.  Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport provides responsive space acces for commercial, government, scientific and academic users.

Primarily Vertical Launch Site.  Harris SS operations at Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA, consist of a 100% commercially run satellite processing facility and space launch complex. 

Primarily Vertical Launch Site.  The Alaska Aerospace Corporation owns and operates the Pacific Spaceport Complex (aka Kodiak Launch Complex) as a dual-use commercial and military spaceport.

Colorado Air and Space Port has been designated as a horizontal launch site facility development at Front Range Airport east of Denver, CO.   

The only spaceport to have conducted space tourist (participant) operations to date, but has been the location for such flights to the International Space Station since 2001.  

Spaceport Cornwall, 5 hrs west of London, has been proposed as a future horizontal launch site facility development.  Easily the most exciting option for the UK since Virgin Orbit released plans to launch from Cornwall.

Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1.  One of the World's least known, but relatively active launch sites.  There have been four launches, the last of which included satellite cargo.  

Spaceport Sweden proposes to establish a spaceport in Kiruna, Sweden, a 1.5 hr flight north from Stockholm, Sweden - 100 KM above the Arctic Circle.  

United Arab Emirates Space Agency proposes to establish the Ras al-Khaimah spaceport in Abu Dhabi, an 8  hr flight from London.  

Indian Space Research Organization is preparing to train astronauts and pursue the ability to launch manned missions.  

Spaceport Camden.  Vertical Launch Site proposed to take advantage of large aerospace community, ideal launch site for orbital inclinations between 31° and 58°, and the largest aerospace engineering program.
