C

Callisto
Moon of Jupiter and home to the art treasure thief Tara. The flight time from Earth is 21 days (TS).

Carbon Dioxide
Gas that is purportedly vital to the Saturnians, instead of oxygen (GS)

CassieCassiopeia Haggarty
Petite, dark haired daughter of Professor Haggarty, who prefers to be known as Cassie. She helps out in his laboratory at the Scientific Research Building at Space Headquarters and would also appear to look after him at home.

'Cat'
Small crystalline lifeform given to Larry Dart by the Lumina. It purrs and is refered to as a cat but it starts to fade not long after entering the Galasphere and is dead upon arrival on Earth, leaving only dark fibrous matter. Considering how much emphasis was put on how deadly oxygen is to the Lumina, one would assume that the crew of Galasphere 347 would have put two and two together but sadly for the late 'cat', it was not to be... (PL)

Cattle
The drought situation on Mars is so bad that cattle have had to slaughtered (BS).

Central Control
Division of Space Patrol at Space Headquarters that deals with pre-launch checks on Galaspheres. This would appear to be the job of the secretary of the Colonel in charge.

Chair
Punishment of the alien space raider Voltek, into which he was strapped forever unless someone agreed to take his place (TVC10).

Charlie
Type One Robot foreman at Jim Barratt's undersea farm (RR, MTS).

Cloning
Never mentioned per se in the series but the plethera of reoccuring faces brings one to wonder if it isn't common or even rampant by 2100 !

Cloud
Vast belt of electronically charged Zenton particles, three hundred and fifty thousand miles above the Earth, placed to deflect the solar heat and blackmail Raeburn into providing Neptune with slaves (CD).

Cloud Dispersal
By 2100, weather control has been established and is strictly controlled (CD).

Cloud Dispersal Officer
In charge of Weather Control, in the New York area at least (CD).

Coal
Compressed carbon formed from ancient animal and plant life. The fact there is carbon coal on Pluto indicates the planet may once have supported life millions of years ago (BS).

Code
To have been allocated to all metals made on Earth, Venus and Mars to prevent them from being destroyed by the Eye invented by Professor Borra (EV).

Colony
The Pluto ColonyMartian settlement on the planet Pluto, refered to on several occasions though we only see the mining complex (SN, BS, FM). There are also colonists on Ganymede (ES)

Colony Ship
Tapered end cigar shaped ship, used to transfer a thousand colonists to Pluto (SN). It is similar in shape and size to a freighter, and may be converted from one (VV).

Comet
One knocks an asteroid out of orbit on a collision course for the Martian capitol of Wotan (WA). Another is responsible for reviving the crew of Galasphere 347 on the limits of the Solar System when it nearly collides with the ship (NP).

Common Cold
Curable by the year 2100 by an inhalant of unspecified nature and origin. It is still prevailent though, and nearly becomes an epidemic on Saturn where it is fatal if untreated (MTS).

Communications Tower - see Radio Tower

Computer Centre
Refered to many times, and implied that there is at least one each on Earth (MM), Mars (WA) and Venus (NP).

Contamination Control
Used by Galasphere crews, and presumably at other points where interplanetary contact is possible, to prevent germs or infections from being passed from planet to planet. It may use ultraviolet light although this is never directly stated. It is presumably powerful enough to prevent the common cold (MTS)

Coney Island
Large amusement park near New York of the 20th and 21st centuries, and presumably still in existence in 2100 (MS)

Control Tower dirests Galasphere flightControl Tower
Tower close to Space Headquarters in New York that bears more than a passing resemblance to the Post Office Tower (now Telecom Tower) of the late 20th and early 21st century, which monitors space flight, presumably in conjunction with Space Headquarters. At other times it seems to be refered to as the Radio or Communications Tower.

Coryza
Old fashioned term for the common head cold but seemingly back in popular usage by 2100. It can be cured by an inhalant (MTS).

Cosmic Radiation
Responsible for mutating the Tula Fish on Venus (HF) and possibly the large scale of life on Planet Ten (NP).

Cosmonauts
Generally what the men of the Space Patrol are referred to as (EVT)..

Crackle
What the Gabblerdictum birds refer to paper money as (TF)..

Cresta
Capitol city of Venus, ringed by a range of dormant volcanoes, on the east coast of the Magda Ocean (VV, HF, ES, EV, SF).

We close on the blazing sun in space before fading to a view of ringed planet Saturn. A gyroscope-like ship, enclosed in a flickering bubble of energy, speeds past us and beyond accompanied by almost musical radiophonic tones. We see it pass the Moon before spinning away to the twilight of the Earth's curved horizon... As we hear a grinding rhythmic electronic score, we see scenes of a futuristic city under a dramatic sky. Some buildings and antennae rotate, light pours from other structures as bullet-shaped and spherical vehicles move rapidly back and forth... 'This is Earth - the year 2100. New York is the headquarters of Space Patrol and men from Earth, Mars and Venus live and work there as guardians of peace. This is the story of those men, whose courage and daring make the universe safe for us all.'
