Space cargo from Le Havre
The port Ariane hardware sails from. Residual launch capacity routed through Kourou (CSG) and Baikonur Cosmodrome.
Le Havre is the port European launch hardware sails from. Ariane stages and structures too large to fly are loaded here for the Atlantic crossing to French Guiana — a sea route that has run for decades.
Cargo leaving Le Havre for orbit consolidates at the Port of Le Havre, with Paris (CDG) for air freight. From there it routes to Kourou (CSG) and Baikonur Cosmodrome. The established sea route to Pariacabo, the spaceport's own port — for cargo that cannot fly. 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.
