The Spaceport Company is a new venture which looks to start launching rockets from sea. The plan is to extend its current sub-orbital missile launch successes with heavier orbits and specialising in equatorial launch access and in an attempt to tap into the growing demand for launch capacity.

The company has now signed new contracts with two commercial companies and are in final negotiations with a third. These signed and potential contracts represent six missile test launches and over $2 million in new revenue, before the end of CY2026.


“These contracts are of course in addition to our existing missile-related contracts with Lockheed Martin, the Golden Dome project, and the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). We completed our contract with the Defense Innovation Unit and the resulting success memo will allow DOW stakeholders to “sole-source” our product, a very powerful contracting tool (#IYKYK). Additionally, MDA continues to be very bullish on The Spaceport Company and has become a solid source of regular revenue,” commented CEO Tom Marotta.

He added that demand for launch pads and test ranges is rising faster than infrastructure capacity. “The supply of facilities that can support those launches is essentially static,” said Marotta.
