Spaceports,
from concept to operation.
ASTRO GATE provides one-stop support for the planning, design, construction management, and operation of spaceports. Through our proprietary technology, we significantly reduce CAPEX and OPEX compared to conventional launch sites, enabling speedy spaceport deployment.
Technology alone doesn’t build a spaceport
That’s why we handle everything
Building a spaceport requires a seamless, integrated framework — from initial concept and safety design, through construction management, to continuous operation. ASTRO GATE is an operator capable of handling every one of these phases in-house.
Planning
From site selection and business concept to feasibility studies.
Design
Technical and business design of hazard areas, trajectories, and launch facilities.
Construction Management
Managing quality, schedule, and safety to build the launch site with certainty.
Operation
Supporting launches continuously through efficient operation.
Launch Facilities Already Developed
Not concepts — already implemented. The technologies below have completed development and are currently provided as services.
Launch Pad–Control Center Communication BOX
A highly reliable dedicated communication unit that connects the launch pad and the control center. We provide the real-time communication infrastructure essential for remote operation as a compact, robust BOX. This is a proven technology already in service.
Drone-Based Hazard Area Monitoring
Efficiently monitors wide-ranging hazard areas during launches using drones. It automates security and safety assurance while minimizing on-site personnel. This, too, is a technology that has completed development and is already in service.
Turning a Concept into a Viable Business
Beyond providing facilities and technology, we plan and design spaceports from both a technical and a business perspective. From site selection to financing scheme design, we provide seamless support for all the considerations required to make it real.
Technical Planning
We design the technical requirements that determine the safety and feasibility of a launch, starting from the upstream stage. By integrating site conditions, trajectories, and safety zones, we derive the optimal form of the launch site.
- Site selection
- Hazard area design
- Trajectory design
- Launch facility design
Financial Planning
Sustainable launch site operation requires solid business viability and a sound funding scheme. Drawing on diverse financing methods, including public-private partnerships, we design plans that stand up as a business.
- Business planning
- Operating scheme
- PPP
- Concession
- VFM assessment
A Speedy Spaceport Deployment Process
From planning to the start of operation, our integrated framework compresses lead time.
Planning & Requirements
Based on site selection and business concept, we organize the target rockets and site conditions.
Design & Manufacturing
We design both technical and business aspects, and manufacture facilities to mass-producible common specifications.
Construction Management & Installation
We manage quality, schedule, and safety. Portable design shortens on-site construction time.
Start of Remote Operation
Leveraging autonomous ground safety, we begin operation safely with minimal personnel from the control center.
The next-generation launch site,
together with us.
From consultations on the planning, design, construction management, and operation of spaceports, to inquiries about technical details, to recruiting engineers to develop them with us. Whether you are a rocket operator or an engineer, please feel free to get in touch.
