The tag aeroway=launchpad is used to map an above-ground facility from which a rocket-powered space vehicle is vertically launched to orbit or beyond, see [W] Launch pad. Not to be confused with aeroway=launch_complex (including tower:type=launch_tower and other infrastructure).

[W] Single-stage-to-orbit [W] Spaceplanes may probably take off from other aeroway=* infrastructure. Also see other launchpad types in "similar tags" below.

How to map

Usually located within the area of a aeroway=launch_complex and / or aeroway=spaceport.
