The science fiction television series Space: 1999 has generated a wide range of licensed media, including novelisations and original novels, audio dramas, comic books, and toys and games.

At the time of the series' original run, several comic book series were published. In the United States, a series of audio adaptations for younger audiences were produced. After 1999, many of the comic book stories were revised and reprinted, together with new stories.

Novels and novelisations

1970s In the mid-1970s, a number of books were published by Futura Publications and Wyndham Publications in the UK, and Pocket Books and Warner Books in the United States. Most of these were novelisations of Space: 1999 episodes. These releases, mainly paperback, were supplemented by 16-page photo sections (Year One and Two in the United States, Year Two only in the United Kingdom), which comprised black-and-white stills from the episodes. Original novels, without photo section, also formed a part of the series. Many of the books were also translated for release in overseas markets, such as Germany, Turkey and Japan.

In other languages Space: 1999 novels and novelisations were also written in other languages for specific markets, mainly Germany and Italy.

In Italy, adaptations of all 24 Year One episodes and eight of the Year Two episodes were published in oversized hardback volumes. These books typically contained two episodes and nearly 100 colour photos each.

In Germany, the Butterworth Year Two novels were translated into German, with one significant difference. The ending of "The Edge of the Infinite" was altered to set up events that would be continued in six original follow-on novels. The first two novels in the series were translated and published in Japan by Mikasa Shobo. Das Andromeda-Rätsel (literally The Andromeda Riddle) by H.W. Springer (pseudonym of Hans Wolf Sommer) Das Erbe der Roboter (literally The Robots' Heritage) by H.W. Springer Die Ewigen von Luna (literally The Eternals of Luna) by H.W. Springer Invasion der Esper (literally Invasion of the Espers) by H.W. Springer Aktion Exodus (analogously Operation Exodus) by Kurt Brand Der Stahlplanet (literally The Steel Planet) by M.F. Thomas

The final novel, Der Stahlplanet, concludes the Space: 1999 odyssey by having the Alphans teleport to Texas City, Earth via the neutrino transmission process introduced in "Journey to Where".

21st century In 2002, Fanderson published a new edition of the novel Earthfall which corrected the typographic errors of the original publication and, with the permission of the author, separated the novel into its three component sections: Part One, "Breakaway" (set in September 1999); Part Two, "Colony Alpha" (January 2000); and Part Three, "Earthfall" (October 2018). Fanderson went on to publish a new original novel, Earthbound, written by E.C. Tubb, in 2003. This book contained an adaptation of "Earthbound", the one episode which was not included in the original novelisation run, as well as adaptations of two scripts of Year Two stories which retained the Year One format in which the scripts had originally been written: "The Exiles" and "The Face of Eden" (or "The Immunity Syndrome"). Also in 2002, Eagle One Media published a new edition of the novel Alien Seed with a new preface by Tubb. The same year, Powys Media launched a new series of officially licensed original novels and related works of non-fiction, and revised and expanded omnibus editions of previously issued novelisations for Year Two. All books are English-language releases, sold only through the companies' websites.
