All interior rooms in Moonbase Alpha are constructed from standard wall units, each 4 foot wide by 8 foot tall. They are beige (like the uniforms), not white as they sometimes appear on screen. New sets could be quickly and easily created by fitting these standard units together in different configurations.

The computer panels were made up of 8 individual panels, each 2 foot by 1 foot. They are dark gray in colour, rather than black, and illuminated with flashing lights. The labels on the top panels read "X5 Computer".

This variation of the computer panel has a central panel, 4 foot wide by 2 foot high, with three black and white screens. This design is also used in the Eagle passenger module.

Note the "empty" computer panels beyond, showing off the box framework into which the individual panels were fitted. These empty panels could be seen in the observation room in Breakaway and the Computer Room in Black Sun and Space Brain.
The other panel is a variation seen in the Main Power Unit in Black Sun (Bergman removes the tall panels to access the circuitry).

In Year 2 Command Centre had a new design of panels: two black panels, two red/yellow panels, and two gray panels. The gray and black panels are rows of buttons; the coloured panels are individually designed. They appear no-where else in Alpha. The panels were taken from the spaceship in Into Infinity.  |

In Year 2 Medical Centre had a new design of panels: these are beige/white. In the first two episodes, the panels had the same type of 3 screen panel as in Year 1; later the panels used two small screens on the right side. Apart from these two rooms, the rest of Alpha uses the same style of computer panels as Year 1.   |
