Space Patrol

Space Patrol was a juvenile space adventure series broadcast on ABC Radio from October 1952 to March 1955.

The series was created by Mike Moser and written by Lou Huston, with the radio series utilising the same cast and scripts as the TV series. It is thought there were 129 radio episodes, with around 110-120 surviving.​
