In the lower levels of MoonBase the storage of Eagle Spacecrafts

Space:1999 was a British science fiction television series that aired from 1975 to 1977. The premise of the show was that a nuclear explosion on the Moon in 1999 caused it to leave Earth's orbit and drift through space, taking the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha with it. One of the main features of Moonbase Alpha was the Launch Pad, where various spacecraft were stored and launched for exploration and rescue missions. The Launch Pad was located on the far side of the Moonbase, away from the main living and working areas, and had a retractable roof that opened when a spacecraft was ready to launch. The Launch Pad was also equipped with a magnetic rail system that accelerated the spacecraft to a sufficient speed for liftoff.

communications posts

Moonbase is equipped with communications posts that allow the crew to stay in touch with each other and with Earth. These posts are located in strategic places such as corridors and rooms, and display important information such as alerts, schedules, news and messages. The posts also have a microphone and a speaker that enable voice communication with the central control room or other posts. The communications posts are essential for the smooth operation of Moonbase and the safety of the crew.

On September 11th, Area One burnt itself out in a magnetic sub surface fire storm

The area was continually monitored by automatic systems; in early September 1999, a sharp rise in heat and a 20-fold increase in magnetic field was detected, although radiation levels remained normal. On September 11th, Area One burnt itself out in a magnetic sub surface fire storm.

Doctor Helena Russell

Doctor Helena Russell is the chief medical officer of Moonbase Alpha, a scientific outpost on the lunar surface. She is responsible for the health and well-being of the crew, as well as conducting research on the effects of living in space. She is a skilled and compassionate physician, who often faces difficult ethical dilemmas and moral choices. She is also a loyal friend and colleague to Commander John Koenig, the leader of Moonbase Alpha.

Commander John Koenig

Commander John Koenig was the leader of Moonbase Alpha, a scientific outpost on the Earth's moon. He was a veteran astronaut and a respected authority figure, who had to make difficult decisions for the survival of his crew. He was also a compassionate and courageous man, who often risked his own life to help others. He faced many challenges and dangers, as the moon was hurled out of orbit by a massive nuclear explosion, and encountered various alien civilizations and phenomena in space.

Breakaway

Moonbase Alpha is a science fiction series set in the year 1999, when a nuclear waste explosion on the far side of the moon sends the lunar base and its crew out of Earth's orbit and into a journey across the solar system. Episode 1, Breakaway, introduces the main characters and the premise of the show, as Commander John Koenig arrives at Moonbase Alpha to investigate the mysterious deaths of the astronauts working on the nuclear waste disposal area. He soon discovers that the nuclear waste is unstable and could cause a massive chain reaction that would destroy the moon and endanger the Earth. He decides to evacuate the base, but it is too late. The explosion propels the moon out of orbit, leaving the 311 survivors stranded in space with no way to return home.

MoonBase Alpha

Moonbase Alpha is a lunar outpost that serves as a research and exploration facility for humanity. It was established by a multinational consortium of space agencies and private companies. The base is located near the south pole of the moon, where there is abundant sunlight and water ice. The base consists of several modules that provide living and working spaces for the crew, as well as a rover garage, a solar farm, a radio telescope, and a launch pad. The base is also equipped with a nuclear reactor and a fusion reactor to provide power and propulsion. The main goals of Moonbase Alpha are to study the lunar environment, test new technologies, and prepare for future missions to Mars and beyond.

The Eagle Spacecraft of MoonBase and Space:1999 used various daily tasks

The Eagle spacecraft of Space:1999 is a fictional vehicle used by the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha in the British science fiction television series. The Eagle is a modular, multi-purpose craft that can be configured for different missions, such as exploration, transport, rescue, or combat. The Eagle has a main body that houses the cockpit, life support systems, and propulsion units, and a detachable pod that can carry various equipment or passengers. The Eagle is powered by four nuclear fusion rockets that can propel it to speeds of up to 15% of the speed of light. The Eagle is also equipped with laser cannons and missiles for defense and offense.

Space:1999 is a British science fiction television series that aired from 1975 to 1977. It follows the adventures of the crew of Moonbase Alpha, a lunar colony that is hurled into space by a massive nuclear explosion. The series explores themes such as survival, human nature, and the consequences of technological progress.

The show is notable for its synodic structure, which means that each episode is self-contained and does not depend on previous or subsequent episodes for continuity. This allows the viewers to watch the episodes in any order, without missing any essential plot points. The synodic format also gives the writers more creative freedom to explore different genres, settings, and scenarios, such as horror, fantasy, western, and comedy.

However, some critics have argued that the synodic approach also limits the character development and emotional impact of the series. The characters do not change or grow significantly throughout the show, and their relationships remain largely static. The viewers do not get to see how the crew adapts to their new situation over time, or how they cope with the loss of their home planet. The synodic format also makes it difficult to create a coherent arc or theme for the series as a whole, as each episode has its own tone and message.

The show ended with an episode called "The Dorcons", which aired in November 1977. In this episode, the crew of Moonbase Alpha encounters a powerful alien race that wants to harvest the brain of Maya, a shape-shifting member of the crew. The episode features a climactic battle between the Alphans and the Dorcons, as well as a dramatic sacrifice by one of the  characters. The episode ends with a cliffhanger, as the moon enters a space warp that could lead to a new home or a new danger. The show was cancelled after this episode, leaving the fate of the crew unresolved.
