Launch Site & Complexes

A World Class Spaceport for Global Access

Etlaq Spaceport is designed to support a wide range of launch operations, from suborbital testing to full-scale orbital missions. Strategically located in Wilayat Al Duqm at 18° latitude, it offers optimized launch efficiency and direct access to multiple popular orbits, making it an ideal site for commercial, scientific, and research missions.

Launch Complexes

Etlaq Spaceport is designed to accommodate a full range of launch vehicles, from micro-launchers to heavy-lift rockets. Our three dedicated launch complexes provide a scalable and flexible launch environment, complete with cutting-edge facilities for integration, testing, and mission operations.

Spaceport Facilities

Artist's impression

Each complex is equipped with Launch Vehicle Integration Buildings (LVIBs) for assembly, payload integration, and testing before rollout. Mission Control & Range Safety Centers provide real-time telemetry, tracking, and launch operations oversight. The spaceport is equipped with fuel and propellant storage units to ensure safe handling of critical launch consumables, and advanced water and flame suppression systems enhance safety during ignition and liftoff. Additionally, dedicated maintenance areas, emergency services, and secured exclusion zones ensure a highly controlled and safe launch environment for all operations.
