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.

The populated place was built for builders of the Chyhyryn Nuclear Power Plant, but due to the Chernobyl disaster construction was suspended and later ceased. As any other atomgrads of the Soviet Union, the populated place carried a status of closed city. Before the Chernobyl disaster in the prospective city was finished and settled few neighborhoods.
