NASA Johnson Space Center runs human spaceflight operations and astronaut training from Houston, and the contractor base around Clear Lake handles flight hardware, life-support systems and payload integration as routine work.

Cargo leaving Houston for orbit consolidates at George Bush Intercontinental (IAH). From there it routes to Boca Chica Starbase and Cape Canaveral SLC-40. Around six hours south on US-77/I-69E — a single-driver road move to Starbase. 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.
