Space port in the Sahara

Prior to Terran Ascent, several locations around Terra had received the name "Space Port" due to them being used to launch chemically propelled spacecraft into space. Several of these were remodeled in the first few years of the 22nd century to use the technology left by the Sarans.

Besides those spaceports, there were several built in locations that previously would have been nonviable.

The spaceport in the Sahara Desert was the first spaceport designed from the start to use the technology left by the Sarans, and was Terran terminus of a space elevator.

It was heavily used during it's first two and a half centuries of existence, with a significant portion of the Terrans who participated in the Second Exodus passing though it.

It was officially closed as an operational spaceport exactly one thousand years after it's opening. The next day it opened as a museum.

It was the last spaceport on Terra's surface.
