This is a list of spacecraft and other vehicles that appear in Space: 1999, a 1970s British science-fiction television series.
An unidentified spaceship based on the Discovery One from 2001: A Space Odyssey called Guardal Canal (a misspelling of "Guadalcanal") was designed (along with its auxiliary craft) and built as a model by a sixteen-year-old Martin Bower just after he saw that film. Around a decade later, he reused it for the series.
In "Alpha Child" the bomber is used to destroy the ships belonged to the fugitive alien Jarak (which are the auxiliary craft designed by Bower).
In "War Games" the aliens do appear the bomber, pheraps using as sources the Alphan memories, to destroy Moonbase Alpha.
In "Dragon's Domain" the Guardal Canal model is in the spaceship graveyard above Ultra.
In "The Metamorph" the Guardal Canal model is in the spaceship graveyard on Psychon.
A modified version of the bomber is also featured as the Deltan battleship in "The Last Enemy" which appears (often with a command module attached and a command module separated) in both the spaceship graveyards, too.
The Eagle Transporter is Moonbase Alpha's primary reconnaissance, supply and defence spacecraft.
The Mark IX Hawk is a warship featured in the first series episode "War Games". Highly manoeuvrable and well-armed, it was designed specifically to counter extraterrestrial threats against Earth and its colonies. In the episode, a Hawk fleet launched from an alien planet attacks Moonbase Alpha, obliterating the Eagle squadron and inflicting serious damage on the base.
