GURPS Space Atlas, the first in a series of "encyclopediae" of planets and planetary systems published by SJG for use in GURPS Space campaigns, was designed by Steve Jackson and William A. Barton, with cover art by Alan Gutierrez. It contains details of 28 star system in the Old Frontiers sector of the GURPS universe, as well as two or three adventure ideas for each system.[1]
In the 2014 book Designers & Dragons: The '80s, game historian Shannon Appelcline noted that the "GURPS Space Atlases (1988–1991), GURPS Space Bestiary (1990) and GURPS Aliens (1990) helped fill out the GURPS Space world."[2]: 41
