Madrid hosts ESA's astronomy centre at Villanueva de la Canada, the INTA aerospace research institute and Airbus Spain's space operations, plus one of NASA's three deep-space communications complexes nearby.

Cargo leaving Madrid for orbit consolidates at Madrid-Barajas (MAD). From there it routes to Kourou (CSG), Cape Canaveral SLC-40 and 2 other sites. 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.
