Orbit codes are constant dimension codes which are defined as orbits under the action of a subgroup of the general linear group on the set of all k-dimensional subspaces of Fnq. If the acting group is Abelian, we call the corresponding orbit code Abelian orbit code. In this paper we present a construction of an Abelian non-cyclic orbit code for which we compute its cardinality and its minimum subspace distance. Our code is a partial spread and consequently its minimum subspace distance is maximal.
