SpaceX Starbase, Louisiana
SpaceX Starbase, Louisiana is a planned large-scale rocket manufacturing, processing, and launch complex for Starship vehicles, located near Pecan Island in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, along the Gulf of Mexico. Announced on August 25, 2026, by Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and SpaceX, the project involves a planned investment of up to $100 billion and is intended to become SpaceX’s largest U.S. launch site.
The site covers approximately 125,000 acres of coastal marshland acquired by the state through a settlement of coastal erosion lawsuits against ExxonMobil and subsequently transferred to SpaceX for $100 million. While the total land area would make it the largest spaceport in the world by footprint, launch infrastructure is planned for a relatively small portion near the coastline.
