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 Launch pad. Not to be confused with aeroway=launch_complex (including tower:type=launch_tower and other infrastructure).
Single-stage-to-orbit
Spaceplanes may probably take off from other aeroway=* infrastructure. Also see other launchpad types in "similar tags" below.
How to map
- Create a closed way around the extent of the launch pad area.
- Add the tag aeroway=launchpad.
- For optional tags to use in combination see aeroway=runway
Usually located within the area of a aeroway=launch_complex and / or aeroway=spaceport.
