The ''[[Spelljammer: AD&D Adventures in Space]]'' space fantasy boxed set was released in 1989.<ref name="history">{{cite web | url=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/DnDArchives_History.asp | title=The History of TSR | publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]] | access-date=2005-08-20 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080924195557/http://www.wizards.com/dnd/DnDArchives_History.asp | url-status=dead | archive-date=2008-09-24}}</ref> Several of [[TSR, Inc.|TSR]]'s other campaign worlds had their own sections in the ''Spelljammer Boxed Set'' - ''Realmspace'' for the [[Forgotten Realms]], ''Krynnspace'' for [[Dragonlance]], and ''Greyspace'' for [[Greyhawk]]. Along with the new sphere - ''Clusterspace'' - they were known as the "Big Three and Astromundi". [[Dark Sun]], [[Ravenloft]] and [[Mystara]] weren't included, as the first two did not fit with the setting and the Mystara only used the D&D rules, not the AD&D rules.{{Citation needed|date=April 2022}}

The product line would be expanded with a number of boxed sets and accessories such as ''[[Lost Ships]]'' (1990),<ref>{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=SJR1 Lost Ships (2e) {{!}} Product History |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17252/SJR1-Lost-Ships-2e |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]] |language=en}}</ref> ''[[Realmspace]]'' (1991)<ref>{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=SJR2 Realmspace (2e) {{!}} Product History |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17259/SJR2-Realmspace-2e |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]] |language=en}}</ref> and ''[[The Astromundi Cluster]]'' (1993). Appelcline commented that ''The Astromundi Cluster'' acted as "a soft reboot of the ''Spelljammer'' line" and was more of setting focused sourcebook than previous Spelljammer books which acted more "as a conduit between all of the other AD&D settings".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=The Astromundi Cluster (2e) {{!}} Product History |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17243/The-Astromundi-Cluster-2e |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]] |language=en}}</ref> The first adventure module, titled ''[[Wildspace (module)|Wildspace]]'', was released in 1990; four connected adventure modules followed it.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=SJA1 Wildspace (2e) {{!}} Product History |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17245/SJA1-Wildspace-2e |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=SJS1 Goblin's Return {{!}} Product History |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17249/SJS1-Goblins-Return-2e |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]] |language=en}}</ref> A longer campaign module, ''Heart of the Enemy'', was then published in 1992<ref>{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=SJQ1 Heart of the Enemy (2e) {{!}} Product History |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17250/SJQ1-Heart-of-the-Enemy-2e |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]] |language=en}}</ref> followed by an adventure anthology, ''Space Lairs'', in 1993.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=SJR8 Space Lairs (2e) {{!}} Product History |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17256/SJR8-Space-Lairs-2e |access-date=2022-04-22 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]] |language=en}}</ref>

The monsters of ''Spelljammer'' were detailed in two installments of the ''[[Monstrous Compendium]]'' series, ''Spelljammer Appendix'' in 1990 and ''Spelljammer Appendix II'' in 1991.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=MC7 Monstrous Compendium Spelljammer Appendix (2e) |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17244/MC7-Monstrous-Compendium-Spelljammer-Appendix-2e |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Appelcline |first=Shannon |title=MC9 Monstrous Compendium Spelljammer Appendix II (2e) |url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17261/MC9-Monstrous-Compendium-Spelljammer-Appendix-II-2e |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=[[DriveThruRPG]]}}</ref>

In 1993, ''Space Lairs'' and ''The Astromundi Cluster'' were the final products of the line.<ref name=":0" /> Appelcline commented on the end of the setting in the ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' era: "TSR's fifth second-edition campaign world, [[Planescape]] (1993), was released to replace Spelljammer, which had just then ended. TSR wanted a new world-spanning setting and [[Slade Henson]] came up with the answer by suggesting a new setting built on Jeff Grubb's first-edition ''Manual of the Planes'' (1987). [...] Unlike Spelljammer this new setting had a strong geographical centre, the City of Sigil, resolving a flaw in the Spelljammer setting that denied players a good home base".<ref name="designers" />{{rp|26}}
