The Orbital sector is the home of the Space Station, a special expandable building located in outer space. Access to both the sector and the Station is given to the player after acquiring the Orbital downloadable content.
The sector is populated by Astronauts, which come from the launch facilities built in the Temperate, Arctic, and Lunar Regions. Each of these facilities will provide one of three types of astronaut which will provide the player with powerful global research effects to all sectors once their needs are satisfied, and the correct expansion structures are constructed on the orbital station.
