Near Orbit is a 1989 role-playing game supplement published by R. Talsorian Games for Cyberpunk.

Contents[]

Near Orbit expands the game to include zero-G adventuring, from geosynchronous orbit to the surface of the moon, which is the farthest humanity has spread.[1]

Reception[]

Near Orbit was reviewed in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 88.[1] The reviewer commented that "Overall, the strengths of the supplement far outweigh the weaknesses. To my knowledge, this is the first hard science system set in outer space. It does not rely on aliens or 'the Force'; explosive decompression is exciting enough thank you. The technical background and ideas herein would be a worthy addition to any modern role-playing system, say James Bond or Top Secret."[1]
