JAXA is headquartered in Tokyo, the major Japanese satellite manufacturers keep their space divisions in the metro, and the city is one of the largest concentrations of high-value manufacturing in the world.

Cargo leaving Tokyo for orbit consolidates at Narita (NRT) and Haneda (HND). From there it routes to Baikonur Cosmodrome, 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.
