Morocco’s location close to the Equator made it possible to construct a compact spaceport not far from Marrakesh. It is used mostly to transport astronauts and cargo to asteroids. Civil flights also depart from the orbit; there is always entertainment there, as well as excursions, study, and exploration programs.

Mohamed Taha Baji Scenario: In the year 2050, Morocco decides to establish a spaceport in Rabat. There are several logical reasons behind this decision: 1. Geographical Advantage: Morocco's strategic location at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East provides an advantageous position for launching satellites and conducting space missions. Its proximity to the Equator also allows for more energy-efficient launches. 2. Economic Diversification: The establishment of a spaceport is part of Morocco's broader strategy to diversify its economy. This investment in the space industry can create high-tech jobs, attract foreign investment, and stimulate economic growth. 3. Scientific and Technological Development: The spaceport serves as a hub for research and development, fostering the growth of Morocco's scientific and technological capabilities. This, in turn, can boost innovation in various sectors of the economy. 4. International Collaboration: Having a spaceport in Morocco facilitates international collaboration on space missions and research. It could be used by space agencies and organizations worldwide, potentially leading to international partnerships and cooperation. Facilities at the Spaceport: A modern spaceport in Rabat would feature various essential rooms and facilities, including: Launch Control Center: Where mission control experts oversee and manage the launch operations. Vehicle Assembly Building: Used for assembling and integrating the launch vehicle and payload. Payload Processing Facility: Where satellites, scientific instruments, or cargo are prepared and tested before integration with the launch vehicle. Launch Pad: The site where the actual launch takes place, including the launch tower, fueling equipment, and other launch infrastructure. Tracking and Telemetry Stations: Facilities essential for tracking the spacecraft's trajectory during and after launch, often located at the spaceport and at various ground stations. Administrative and Support Buildings: Including offices, conference rooms, personnel accommodation, and support facilities like security, medical, and fire services. Research and Development Facilities: Supporting ongoing technology development and innovation in the field of space exploration. The specific design and layout of the spaceport in Rabat would be determined based on its intended missions and capabilities, aiming to cater to the growing demands of the space industry.

Michael J. O'Farrell There will be many future spaceports... both geo-politically and strategically controlled. How will we define and identify the locations for inter-planetary spaceports to accept and receive our inter-planetary ambitions?
