- As many spacecraft use parachutes as a way of slowing down during atmospheric descent, this video depicts the SPACE:1999 EAGLE with a full ventral heat shield, deployed parachutes, and thrust to make its landing.

I still think the Eagle design is one of the best spaceship designs.
Damn, excellent work!
I really miss Space: 1999, especially in the Season One style.
Loved it as a kid and recently able to rewatch on Prime. I still think the hardware is my favorite the part of the show. Never realized how big a difference there was between season 1 and season 2.
Would be cool if they rebooted it like they did BSG? Space 2099 or Moon Base Alpha or some shit like that? Bring the Sci-fi tech up to date like The Expanse does and ditch those dated itchy looking uniforms and I’d watch. Speaking of uniforms: I think the original started that extra zippers on clothing trend that happened in the 80s?
Yeah, season 1 was great. Season 2, where they supposedly moved into the basement, not so good. Season 1 inspired my love of all things mid-century modern, i must say. Everything was so "space-age" just what you'd expect in a moon-city! :)
Watching the series back it's got a really dark undercurrent.
I love how your Eagle has heat shields for atmosphere entry.
I agree, very good modification.
It already had a protector panel under the engines so it's not such a huge modification. Well done!
Very good work! I loved Space: 1999 as a teenager. This series, along with Gerry Anderson's other masterpiece, "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun" motivated me in so many ways including my obsession with visiting Europe.
To echo Brad's comment, enjoyed the Season 1 music the most.
YEAH !! Excellent idea !
That landing was Exquisite Incredible and Extraordinary
I love you my beautiful EAGLE 🦅
One of the finest looking space craft ever to grace any screen and you keep the faith, awesome!
Thanks!
Actually, this makes perfect sense. Very well played.
Such an iconic design.
This is completely badass!
Loved the retractable landing gear!!!
Entire segment was off the hook!!
Well you certainly save on fuel consumption with this landing profile! That’s for sure! Excellent work!
I have seen all of this content and I must say that this should be a video game at the very least. Fantastic and amazing rendering. Space 1999, the gane!!
LOVED the interior view out the lower cockpit windows (FINALLY!). I could see this scene being used in an emergency situation, when an Eagle enters an atmosphere with crippled landing thrusters, etc. Loved the use of series music, too!
As always, totally AWESOME!!! I love your SPACE stuff and wish it could be realized in a reboot of the show!
I wish the show had shown more of its teck , i would loved to have seen the earth of space 1999 and its wonderful technology.
Love Space 1999, please keep them coming!
Bravo, Ted! You’ve done it again...!!! 😃👍
I LOVE your work and you show the lower front windows as I always imagined them!
I'M JUST BLOWN AWAY!!! Dude, whatever you're doing, keep up the GREAT work!👍
Wonderful!
And the soundtrack.... sublime. One of the best for a TV series. Barry Gray was amazing!
Remarquable and quite realistic, it seems really we are capable to do that now !
FWIW: I thought of a way to make the Eagle's atmospheric operation a bit more 'realistic'. In addition to having the belly _configure itself,_ the Eagles could have a removable _aeroshell_ that would turn the vehicle into a lifting body. When operating strictly on the Moon or in space, they would not be installed.
Makes sense. 👍
@@lantastic1 Very nice but it does go against the canon of the series, since they didn't use neither aeroshells nor parachutes in the series.
@@LSOK38 Of course the magic “nuclear fuel cells” were really out there, and I don’t think would get a pass these days.
Wow, the looks great, seriously great job on the Eagle, you've done her justice.
Hugs n kisses... for keeping this series a l i v e...
Now thats how it would really be done! Fantastic work sir!
Thanks!
I appreciate the time and effort involved in making this mini video, thank you and a big thumbs up from mr.
Absolutely brilliant thanks for sharing a brilliant production 👍
If there was any science fiction spacecraft that could become a reality, I really wish it was the Eagle Transporter. I loved watching Space 1999 just for the Eagles. Would love to have a model of my own. You've done a great job with this and your other videos. Well done.
This is so cool.
That is brilliant! I had wondered about ways for that to land, as well as how it would get to orbit.
Real cool video! Thanks for making and posting it!
This is totally FREAKING AMAZING!!! Thanks for the share!
Again, so well thought out and brilliantly executed. Your attention to detail and faithfulness to the subject is commendable.
Wow, thank you!
This is awesome!
Thanks!
Keep the videos coming Ted. I like your work. It helps keep Space:1999 and especially the Eagle alive.
Nice landing imagine if the eagle could retract the parachutes really like the shielding of engines excellent.
As a space based work vehicle this seems feasible. Shuttle tech could apply for this particular aspect. Lunar, lunar orbit, moon to earth then reentry here. It's the jeep of outer space. Modular. Flexible. And you could muck around with just the command section too! Lol
This videos are awesome. Thank you.
Interesting concept!
Hey, Ted - This is wonderful. I love it!
What a joy to watch !!!!!
Thank you!
Wonderful work! Intelligent and imaginative- this is what yoo toob needs way more of!
A LOVELY Merry Christmas! Thanks Ted - Have a great 2021!
Awesome1 Really digging this videos...
Loved this!!! I just watched Ep. 1 of S 2 today and this was suggested to me. I have the entire series on DVD but seeing it on you tube in its entirety was a great treat! Now maybe we can get some more fans going! Thank you. Commander, out!
Great work, thanks!
MORE!
I've got to hand it to you, Ted -- you REALLY made vast improvements on the original "Space:1999" Eagle in these videos! Bravo! Take care and all the best!
I really love the retractable landing pads. I know a lot of people hate on this idea, but when I made this model kit when I was about 16, almost 50 years ago, I had visions of making the landing pads retractable even way back then. The parachute assist is a wonderful idea. Think of the things we could do with this series NOW if it were to be CORRECTLY rebooted. (Leave Alex Kurtzman and JJ Abrams out of it! Banned from the set.)
Perfect!
Very well done!!!
Fantastic CGI animation...These Eagles are perfect Moon vehicles. Just couldn't envision them in atmospheric conditions. But this is pretty creative thinking outside the box. I imagine they would be lightweight vehicles thus a little fuel goes a long way.
Brilliant absolutely brilliant.
great work Ted !
I love this so much.
Totally Brilliant!
This requires the epic 70s space 1999 twang guitar theme.
Brilliant 👏
Why not make it a steerable parasail?
Also one would have thought extending the re-entry shield to cover the lower windows would be advisable.
I like the vine thuds when it lands
I was waiting for the "Was that the forward buffer panel?" moment, maybe next time, lol.
Wow, like a Falcon but it’s an Eagle 🦅!
Damn I love hearing that music. I miss good science fiction.
Eita nave boa! Não tem para ninguém!
That's so good! A Happy New Year to you, Sir!
Right on always liked 1999
It's ingenious! (It's insane!)
Awesome! Thanks Victor!
@@romeo3928 🙂
i like the cockpit part
Awesome
wonderful
Many thanks
That was a 1st for me !
Hermoso!
Superb
Love the correct cockpit and especially the air conditioning vents. Can you add rogue chutes to pull out the mains?? beautiful work
Shiny! 🤠👍
Nice!.
Nice.
There was a early concept for the Soviet Buran which would have landed like this before it evolved into something similar to the US Shuttle.
I like to use the overlayed music as my wake-up alarm. That allows me to start each morning with a mysterious foreboding.
Bravi!
Superbe animations
Thank you!
Cool :)
Para el despege y el ingreso a la tierra habia propuesto un acople externo en forma de v el cual seria autonomo al aguila con la particularidad de acoplarlo o desacoplarlo desde el aguila cuando conecte teniendo el control la tripulacion del aguila o automatico desde el lanzador de la mision o en el reingreso al planeta por su parte sobre en el centro de el aguila le acoplaria en su lomo un sistema de motores y tanques auxiliares de combustible con un sistema de alas de geometria variable para que la nave sea mas estable. Muchas ideas y esperemos que se haga realidad.
That spaceship was so cool and realistic! The show not so much.
The 1st season of the show was 2001: A Space Odyssey with 007 (James Bond) styling with the Anderson's flair. Visually it's amazing.
Cool!!! Noticed Pilot can see out lower windows too. Does the Command Module have a parachute? If the Eagle was damaged more, could the Command Module eject and parachute away while the structure hit the ground and explodes. Maybe I enjoyed Eagle Crashes too much. :)
The command module beak does detach from the main body, it even has its own booster rocket assembly. The episode where we see this occur is Dragons Domain.
@@sturmwind1180 Probably the best Eagle episode of the entire run of the show
@@sturmwind1180 With the Ultra Probe command module? Yes. Not sure if Eagles were supposed to have entered production before or after construction on the Ultra Probe...?
@Sturmwind The docking in Dragon's Domain makes sense because modularity and compatibility would be good design features for contemporary spacecraft.
I would have expected the Command Module of the Eagle should be capable of ejecting from the damaged body of a Cargo version. I’d even expect it to have stowed away emergency seating for another extra 2 to 4 passengers in an emergency. It would be nice if someone actually made an animation of how this would work.
I am of course also assuming that in an emergency with a passenger carrying Eagle Spacecraft, the passenger compartment could be independently ejected from the body of the spacecraft (serve as a temporary lifeboat till help comes from another Eagle) and might even survive re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, including a controlled landing using small thrusters, emergency fold out titanium vanes, and ultimately, large parachutes for a soft landing.
This just keeps getting better! Do the S:2099 team know about you?
I saw one eagle come in for a parachute assisted landing on the moon. They named the new crater after the pilot....
Ted. I was thinking about the Eagle command module. I know the interior doesn't line up. What if the piloting controls were a little lower and pilot could see all 4 windows, 2 top and 2 bottom? I guess the deck and chairs would be higher. I love your upgrade design.
Show !!!
Pretty cool. My only concern is that using two parachutes connecting to two different locations would be a serious danger point; if one deployed and the other didn't, the ship would be flipping and falling out of control.
Space flight is inheirantly dangerous, yes. However, I suspect that in such an event, one of the braking thrusters would fire, to balance it out. Or perhaps a back-up chute? Mr. Rivers?
0:19 nice panel......
You nailed it (yet again) on the need for a heat shield. Great work and please keep it up. Have you thought of trying a slightly modified command module with heat shielded under panels constructed of black tiles as on the Space Shuttle. Retractable shield on the under module visors. The animation could show some tile maintenance back at moonbase alpha. This is great fun for animation, but on a reboot they would probably ditch necessity for fantasy and have Eagles coming and going from planets like a London NewYork PanAm flight
Thanks! When I was modeling my Eagle, I wanted to stay as close to canon as possible, but I only started remodeling the ship as I did not like the vertical thrust nozzles just stuck to the bottom on the original Eagle and I wanted it to have a heat shield so it was a bit more believable to do atmospheric flight and reentry. In the end, I'm not an aviation engineer. This is for fun and the look of the Eagle is so cool and I do love the show!
@@romeo3928 The Eagle Transporter is pretty much my favorite spacecraft of all time... I love your work, very cool to see the details you've put in. I would point out, though, that the Eagle is supposed to have fusion-powered main engines, which means that with enough reaction mass it could do a power-on re-entry all the way from de-orbit to touchdown, obviating the need for heat shielding or chutes. I hope you do more of these cool animations!
I don't think the eagle was ever meant to reenter atmosphere as an ssto, but rathere used to connect moonbase alpha to the orbital station.
Still, this could've probably been an emergency procedure to evacuate the base if the orbital station was ever destroyed, and most likely what would've happened if the crew attempted to return to earth after the incident.
I imagine if the orbital station and moonbase were compromised the plan would've been to send as much non essential personnel back to earth using the eagles as escape vessels while those remaining would try stabilizing the situation while waiting for earth to send proper rescue vessels.
The remaining eagles would then dock with said vessels in orbit and be abandoned there, probably to be later recovered in a later mission to reestablish the colony.
How do they escape the gravity well though
I wish, at the very least, that they would re-do the Special effects for BREAKAWAY in state of the art SPFX. ILM quality CGI that doesn't look like digital animation.
perhaps each chute could be steerable like a paraglider?
Hollyweird needs to remake Space 1999. Space 2099! Only thing I'd change is the stupid flat windshield, cockpit design is a total waste of space and call the engines nuclear rockets. Loved 1999 as a kid, the eagle is by far my favorite near future sci-fi design, minus the flat windshield, bugged me as a kid, still does.😁
Agreed. The cockpit design is a massive waste of space.
what no crashing Eagles, sacrilege
This is great! Well done! Is this in Blender?
Thanks! Done in 3ds Max.
How do Eagles get into orbit?
