Christchurch is the Antarctic gateway, which has given the city an unusual specialism in moving scientific equipment and personnel into extreme, logistically hostile environments on fixed seasonal windows.

Cargo leaving Christchurch for orbit consolidates at Christchurch (CHC). From there it routes to Mahia Peninsula (LC-1), Vandenberg SLC-4E 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.
