Moonbase Alpha is a fictional research station featured in the 1975-1978 British science fiction television series Space: 1999. It serves as the central setting for the series and has appeared in all forty-eight episodes of the show beginning with the pilot episode, "Breakaway".

Description
Moonbase Alpha was a scientific research station situated on Earth's moon. For years, the Dark Side of the Moon has served as a dumping ground for Earth's radioactive waste. On September 13th, 1999, a tragic accident caused the radioactive isotopes in the nuclear stockpile to explode. The detonation was so strong that it actually broke the moon from it's orbit, sending it hurtling through outer space. The surviving personnel of Moonbase Alpha, which included 311 command crew, scientists, medical staff, technicians and mission operatives were now stranded on the base. The ninth and final commander of Moonbase Alpha was Commander John Koenig, who had only recently arrived to accept command of the station.
