Space Academy is a live-action sci-fi children’s television program produced by Filmation that originally aired Saturday mornings on the CBS television network, from September 10 to December 17, 1977. A total of 15 half-hour episodes were made.

Established in the “star year” 3732, the Space Academy, located on an asteroid, brought together the best of young minds, including several with special skills and abilities, to explore the mysteries of space. Jonathan Harris (Lost in Space) starred as Commander Isaac Gampu, the 300+ year old head of the academy overseeing the activities of three student exploratory teams, the Red, Blue and Gold Teams (although the main characters were all members of the Blue Team). Siblings Chris and Laura Gentry were co-captains of the academy’s Blue Team, having highly developed telekinetic and other psychic powers.

As with much of children’s television in the 1970s, lessons and morals were taught in each episode. These included wide-ranging concepts, such as that the superpowers possessed by some academy students were not a cure-all for problems, and that even the old and wise could make mistakes. As the students encountered members of extraterrestrial races, even mutated descendants of Earth colonists in space, they came to further develop their wisdom and understanding of diversity throughout the universe.
