Night City International and Translunar Spaceport

Night City International and Translunar Spaceport (NCX) is a spaceport and airport located on the island of Morro Rock in Del Coronado Bay, to the west of Night City. In, the project in construction is named Orbital Air Massdriver.

Overview
Orbital Air's NCX is the largest spaceport on North America. With more than 100 million passengers a year, it offers more than 80 destinations around the world, as well as flights to the Moon and the nearby space stations.

Ground transportation into Night City is only advised if you are accompanied by corporate or military personnel. Otherwise, visitors to NC are strongly encouraged to travel by plane. Daily connections from major American cities and orbit are available here.

Construction
The chaos of the Fourth Corporate War disrupted most of the regular air transit to and from the Night City Metropolitan Airport. As part of the city's reclamation, plans were made to establish an orbital spaceplane mass driver launch site on Morro Rock, a volcanic neck and the most geologically stable area in the region. Franklin M'bolu, a developer of many of Orbital Air's leading technologies, was in charge of building the company's forthcoming mass driver. Built within the majestic Morro Rock, the mass driver would allow spaceplanes to be launched into LEO (low Earth orbit).

Construction started in 2045, though many decisions were eventually scrapped. The Night City Mayor had signed a contract to build a mass driver, but Orbital Air management was skeptical that rocket-free launches could take place without corporate backing ensuring its profitability. As such, OA proposed to build a civilian spaceport as well. It was decided to demolish Morro Rock itself in order to build the new infrastructure. This time it was not Orbital Air who gave permission to demolish the Rock, but rather the Night City authorities.

In the end, Orbital Air managed to take advantage of loopholes in order to cancel the mass driver's construction and its rusted, incomplete remains were eventually dismantled. This way the megacorp's monopoly on space colonization remained intact. In 2047, the spaceport was finally inaugurated.

2070s
In 2077, the high demand of spaceflights made Orbital Air begun developing a project to renovate Terminal B in order to accomodate the high influx of passengers. OA contracted CORP-BUD for this task.


 * The armed conflict at NCX was considered a terrorist attack which took the lives of innocent people. Orbital Air promised to continue the investigation and find the perpetrators. A condolence message board located near Terminal B was left to allow travellers to express their grief for the event.

Terminals
NCX has three terminals and handles more than 100 million passengers a year. Each terminal has daily connections to major cities on Earth such as Anchorage, Beijing, Berlin, Caracas, Hyderabad, Libreville, MetaKey, Nairobi, New Mumbai, New York, Paris, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo or Warsaw; as well as to space stations such the Crystal Palace; or to the biggest city on the Moon, Tycho. The infrastructure includes an underground parking and AV landing pads on the roof.

Terminal A
Terminal A is responsible for low-cost LEO international and national flights, which depart and arrive every day at different times. Airline access is granted to OA TerraLines.

Terminal B
Also known as the Tycho Terminal, this location includes the main hall of the spaceport. It has a variety of shops, including Avante, Ji-Head, Saeko's, Dynalar, Fuyutsuki Electronics, Giovanni Brizzi, Cybermatrix, and a pharmacy. There is also displayed the 2047 NCX inauguration plaque.

Terminal B is responsible for orbital and translunar flights, which depart and arrive every day at different times. Airline access is granted to OA TychoLines and OA Crystal Palace Direct.

This terminal gives access to three launch platforms, all located southwest of NCX. They are accessed via monorail.

Terminal C
Terminal C is responsible for luxury LEO international and national flights, which depart and arrive every day at different times. The purpose and destination of these flights remain mostly unknown, consequently, this discretion is reflected on the expansive tickets. Airline access is granted to OA HighLines and OA Black.

Development
Early versions of Night City for Cyberpunk 2077 included an underwater tunnel that went from Watson to Pacifica, going right under the spaceport and connecting to it. This was eventually scrapped, though the northern entrance of the tunnel still remains in the game. It can be found to the southeast of Konpeki Plaza, accessed by two closed roads that originate from the Night City Ringroad.

The spaceport was originally known as the "Orbital Air Space Center" in some sources outside the videogame, such as. There was also a shard that mentioned the "Richard Night International (RNX)" that was eventually cut from the game in subsequent patches.

Prior to Patch 2.0 and, the installations found on the island had only two runways and a pad-launcher for rocket-built spacecrafts. There were also game files of a structure resembling a mass driver that perfectly fit the northeastern runway.

Although the spaceport could not be visited in the original Cyberpunk 2077, it was heavily overhauled and made accessible in Phantom Liberty, giving it a final name as well.
