Chicago is the busiest inland freight interchange in North America and O'Hare handles the widest range of international air cargo in the Midwest. Argonne and Fermilab put serious scientific instrumentation within an hour of the city.

Cargo leaving Chicago for orbit consolidates at O'Hare (ORD). From there it routes to Wallops Flight Facility, Cape Canaveral SLC-40 and 1 other site. Charterspace lists the residual capacity on flights that are already leaving, so what is open from these sites changes as providers release it.

Nothing on this page is a guaranteed service. Residual capacity is sporadic by nature — most of the time there is none open from any given site, and a leg listed today may be gone tomorrow. Payloads bound for orbit are subject to export control, hazardous-materials rules and the launch provider's own acceptance criteria, all of which are settled before anything is booked. If nothing here matches what you need to ship, tell us and we will look at the routes that are not listed.
