Orbita (Ukrainian: Орбіта) is a populated place without any particular designation in Cherkasy Oblast (province) of Ukraine. It was originally designed to become a satellite town of a planned nuclear power station. While the construction was officially cancelled before fall of the Soviet Union, it nevertheless has a population of 120.
Most of the buildings are nine-story houses, but only two five-story buildings are inhabited.
In the 2000s, the only one heating pipeline in the city stopped heating houses. Only a few houses have gas.
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the semi-finished city was placed in administration of neighboring rural council (village) of Vitove, Chyhyryn Raion (since 2020 Cherkasy Raion).
In January 2023, the Ukrainian ministry approved a plan to finish the construction of the Chyhyryn NPP and renovating existing homes. Construction would commence between 2032 and 2040.[1]
