Space: 1999

Space: 1999 is a British science-fiction television series from 1970s. Several add-ons for Orbiter recreate the moonbase setting of the series and associated spacecraft. Although the series didn't feature realistic physics, the ships are still enjoyable to operate in Orbiter's realistic simulation environment. This article intends to provide a general view of the series universe and chronology.

A unified Earth space program is supervised by the World Space Commission which is funded by the International Lunar Finance Committee. One of the main economical justification for the lunar bases is atomic waste disposal. It has been done on the Moon since the 1980s.

The series features several vehicles, some simulated on Orbiter.

• Moonbuggy
• Lasertanks
• Falcon - space shuttle, 1982
• Eagle - space shuttle, replaces the falcon, 1992
• Ultra probe - manned interplanetary probe, 1996
• Hawk - manned Earth-lunar space warship, 1987
• Swift - part of the manned Star Mission 1996
• Reentry-Glider - 2-man re-entry vehicle
• Meta probe - manned interplanetary probe, 1999
• Voyager One - unmanned interstellar probe, 1985
• Superswift - manned interstellar probe, conceptual, 1999
• Superswift Pilot Ship - 3-man re-entry shuttle, conceptual, 1999
• Starcruiser - manned interstellar probe, conceptual, 1999
• Phoenix - manned Uranus probe, 1986
• Astro 7 - manned Jupiter probe, 1994

Spacestations and bases:

• Moonbase Alpha - established in 1984
• Nuclear Disposal Area 1
