Surface bases (or “spaceports”) are launch and landing sites on the surface of planets or moons, usually equipped with launchpads or runways, for vertical and horizontal liftoff and/or landing. Each surface base is defined via its own configuration file. When Orbiter loads a planet configuration, it scans all surface base definitions for the planet and creates the corresponding bases.

The standard Orbiter installation features the following default surface bases:

Default bases for Earth

Africa

Antarctica

Asia

Australia

Europe

North America

South America

Default bases for the Moon

Default bases for Mars

The detail level provided goes from a simples launchpad to custom surface tiles, runways and 3D buildings. It's possible to add new bases or enhance the existing through add-ons.
