Science mission — no cargo capacity
Michoud: where launch-vehicle core stages are built. Residual launch capacity routed through Boca Chica Starbase, Cape Canaveral SLC-40 and 1 other site.
The Michoud Assembly Facility on the city's eastern edge builds launch-vehicle core stages, and has the barge infrastructure to move structures too large for any road. Around it sits a Gulf Coast fabrication industry used to oversized, high-tolerance work.
Cargo leaving New Orleans for orbit consolidates at New Orleans (MSY) and the Port of New Orleans. From there it routes to Boca Chica Starbase, 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.
This list is filtered to legs departing from the launch sites New Orleans is served by, not everything on the platform.
