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.

The series features several vehicles, some simulated on Orbiter.

  • Moonbuggy
  • Lasertanks
  • Eagle
  • Ultra probe - manned interplanetary probe, 1996

  • Starcruiser - manned interstellar probe, conceptual, 1999
  • Phoenix - manned Uranus probe, 1986
  • Astro 7 - manned Jupiter probe, 1994
