Tom Corbett is the main character in a series of Tom Corbett – Space Cadet stories that were depicted in television, radio, books, comic books, comic strips, and other media in the 1950s. The stories followed the adventures of Corbett, Astro, and Roger Manning (originally; later, T.J. Thistle), cadets at the Space Academy as they train to become members of the Solar Guard. The action takes place at the Academy in classrooms and bunkrooms, aboard their training ship the rocket cruiser Polaris, and on alien worlds, both within the solar system and in orbit around nearby stars.

The classic space heroes from the 1950s are back, with a new look but the same sense of high-spirited adventure. Tom, Roger and Astro, cadets at the 23rd-century Space Academy, uncover the threat of the One State, a robotic horde with a strange origin and an even stranger mission. With an introduction by Jan Merlin, who played Roger in the original Tom Corbett, Space Cadet television series.

Before Star Fleet…there was the Solar Guard! Before Captain James T. Kirk…there was Tom Corbett, Space Cadet!
