From a quiet stretch of grassland to a thriving gateway for space exploration, the Houston Spaceport supports humanity’s reach into the cosmos as tenants like Intuitive Machines prepare to return to the moon.
In 2015, Houston Airports obtained FAA approval to establish a commercial spaceport at Ellington Airport (EFD). This was an ambitious initiative for a city already recognized as Space City.
Today, the Houston Spaceport is home to pioneers such as Axiom Space, Collins Aerospace and Intuitive Machines. These companies are driving global space innovation and have created nearly 2,000 jobs at the spaceport.
This anniversary is not just a milestone. It is a testament to what can be achieved when ambition meets action. The future of space exploration is being built right here in Houston, Texas.
