Wikipedia: A spaceport is a site for launching or receiving spacecraft, by analogy to a seaport for ships or an airport for aircraft. Proposed future bases on the Moon, Mars or an asteroid are sometimes called spaceports.  An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a planet nor a comet. They are rocky, metallic or icy bodies with no atmosphere. Sizes and shapes of asteroids vary significantly, ranging from 1-meter rocks to a dwarf planet almost 1000 km in diameter. Asteroids are generally classified to be of three types: C-type, M-type, and S-type.
