The United States is in discussions with Taiwan on a potential spaceport partner
ship, which could one day enable suborbital flights that reduce travel time betw
een Taipei and Houston to just 2.5 hours. Houston’s Ellington Airport already o
perates a licensed spaceport, while Taiwan has designated Jiupeng in Pingtung as
the site for its launch facility—with the potential to upgrade it into a futur
e spaceport. AIT has also initiated preliminary exchanges with relevant Taiwanes
e agencies to explore the feasibility of such cooperation. The initial phase of
cooperation may focus on uncrewed cargo missions, with crewed flights to follow
as capabilities mature.

This initiative not only highlights Taiwan’s growing potential in space innovat
ion, but also marks another milestone in strengthening U.S.–Taiwan technologica
l partnership. #Spaceport #TechDiplomacy
