Mojave Airport and Spaceport, which calls itself America's First Inland Spaceport, is located in the town of Mojave, in southern California. The spaceport was licensed to launch reusable spacecraft by the FAA in 2004. It has the benefit of being a restricted air space because it is near Edwards Air Force Base.

Space Launch, which was recently acquired by Space Adventures, and XCOR Aerospace, are two of the spaceport's current partners.
