Orbiter 9 (Spanish: Órbita 9) is a 2017 science fiction romantic drama directed by Hatem Khraiche[1] in his directorial debut.

Her parents had told her, by archived video, their intent to commit suicide so that Helena could survive, due to a depletion of oxygen.

Helena quickly develops romantic feelings for Alex, and later enters his sleeping quarters, convincing him to make love to her as it may be her only opportunity.

He drives to the main building and reports to scientist Hugo, head of one of four international sites secretly conducting space simulation experiments on human test subjects.

The aim of the research is to conduct an eventual voyage to Celeste, a habitable planet orbiting in Alpha Centauri, since Earth's oceans are poisoned and the environment no longer able to support future generations.

Alex has been depressed since a Celeste-bound ship piloted by androids he created exploded, killing 207 human passengers on board.

Alex, unable to stop thinking about Helena, returns to her in his normal Earth clothes and reveals the truth of her situation.

Hugo and Katherine agree that the Project can gain valuable insights by observing a real birth and subsequent growth of a family group inside Orbiter 9.
