JOIN THE LARGEST SPACEPORT NETWORK IN THE WORLD
Welcome to the Global Spaceport Alliance
Space begins at SPACEPORTS!
The global space market is booming, reaching $630 billion and projected to hit $1.8 trillion by 2035, according to a report by McKinsey and the World Economic Forum. Spaceports are economic powerhouses that can help a regional economy tap into this expanding market.
The Global Spaceport Alliance (GSA) has the largest network of international spaceports in the world. GSA supports its members with events, funding initiatives, webinars, direct marketing and networking.
Spaceport Site Selection
As the commercial space industry accelerates, the race to build the next generation of spaceports is reshaping the ground infrastructure that makes it all possible. No longer limited to government launch sites, spaceports are emerging as strategic hubs driven by private investment, regional growth ambitions, and national priorities.
Success begins with a clear mission. From orbital launches that require expansive safety corridors to suborbital testing and technology hubs, each spaceport must align its purpose with geography, infrastructure, and market demand. Factors such as trajectory, recovery logistics, weather, transportation access, and community support all influence long-term viability.
Looking ahead, increasing launch cadence and reusable systems are shifting the focus toward integrated ecosystems rather than standalone sites. The spaceports that thrive will connect operators, manufacturers, and missions into a cohesive, scalable network, reinforcing that in the race to space, where you start matters just as much as where you are going.

‘Traffic jam’ at launchpads could bring space ports to your city
The United States launched a record 145 rockets into orbit in 2024, and this year is going to get even busier creating a so-called “traffic jam” forming at three critical launchpads in Florida and California. Could this congestion lead to smaller launch sites coming to a city near you? NBC’s Tom Costello reports for TODAY.
HIGHLIGHTS
TESTIMONIALS
If you are a spaceport, operate from a spaceport, or wish to provide services to the launch-spaceport-payload value chain, GSA is a key organization to join and become active in their committees, conferences, and other outreach efforts. GSA is forward thinking, responsive, effective, and are great partners pushing policies and endeavors that are impactful to the industry as a whole. We have consistently received value well beyond our membership and sponsorship fees and have also enjoyed the friends, colleagues, and collaborations that have come from our mutual engagement with the leadership and members of GSA. We highly recommend GSA to those seeking to participate in the space-economy since spaceports are the gateway and home port of the solar system and beyond.
