Moonbase 3 Departure and Arrival.
Astronaut Harry Saunders (Michael Wisher) suffers a mental breakdown while
piloting a shuttle from the Moon back to Earth, causing an accident that kills
him and his passenger, Moonbase 3 director Tony Ransome (Michael Lees). Under
political pressure to close the Moonbase following the deaths, the Director-
General of the European space programme appoints David Caulder to take over
as Director of Moonbase 3 and investigate the accident.
Moonbase 3 Behemoth.
When two seismologists mysteriously vanish in the Mare Frigoris region, Caulder
bans all travel into the area, a decision that upsets Dr Heinz Laubenthal
(Peter Miles) who is conducting research in the area but won't reveal what he
is working on. Some time later, Laubenthal is killed in an explosion in his
laboratory. Investigations reveal that the lab walls were breached from the
outside and strange tracks are found leading from the lab in the direction of
the Mare Frigoris. As rumours of space monsters begin to disrupt life on the
moonbases, Caulder leads a team into Mare Frigoris in search of the truth.
Moonbase 3 Achilles Heel.
While Caulder is pressured to deliver results from Moonbase 3's research
programme under threat of budget cuts, the CORA radio astronomy project is
thrown into disarray by a series of accidents. As the situation develops it
becomes apparent that one of the three CORA scientists – Adam Blaney (Edward
Brayshaw), Bill Knight (Malcolm Reynolds) and Kate Weyman (Anne Ridler) – is
suffering from a mental breakdown and is sabotaging the project.
Moonbase 3 Outsiders.
Faced with an inspection ahead of potential budget cuts, Caulder's hopes of
demonstrating that the Moonbase 3 research programme is worthwhile lie with
two brilliant, but erratic, researchers, Stephen Partness (Tom Kempinkski)
and Peter Conway (John Hallam), both of whom are showing evidence of cracking
under the strain.
Moonbase 3 Castor and Pollux.
While Caulder explores the possibility of participating in a joint expedition
to Jupiter with the Russians, an accident during a routine docking manoeuvre
with a satellite leaves a shuttle with Tom Hill on board tumbling out into
deep space. Caulder mounts a rescue mission but must convince the Russians
to help him.
Moonbase 3 View of a Dead Planet.
Controversy surrounds the Arctic Sun Project, a plan to detonate a hydrogen
bomb above the Arctic Circle to melt the icecaps and open up new land for
development. When the project is initiated, all contact with Earth is lost
as it becomes enveloped in a strange mist. The inhabitants of the Moon
colonies struggle to come to terms with the possibility that Earth has been
destroyed and they are all that's left of humanity.
