A '''spaceport''', also known as a '''starport''',<ref name="exo">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> is a location on a planet where spacecraft launch and land, by analogy with seaport for seaborne ships or airport for aircraft. Spaceports may serve as transport hubs for cargo or passengers, or both. A '''shuttle port''' is a type of spaceport presumably used primarily by shuttlecraft. There are at least 15 major shuttle ports on [[Earth]].<ref>''[[Axon]]'', [[Media: | A '''spaceport''', also known as a '''starport''',<ref name="exo">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> is a location on a planet where spacecraft launch and land, by analogy with seaport for seaborne ships or airport for aircraft.
