The $100B Starbase Louisiana will have 10 pads (5 complexes × 2) and will start building in 2027 with a first launch targeted 2029.




The new launch facilities will not have a positive revenue impact until 2029 and only if the work stays on schedule.

SpaceX now has 17 Starship launch pads under development. Those 17 pads will eventually have a combined launch capacity of 15,000+ launches per year.
