* TheTeam:
** '''The Leader:''' Chris (although see the note on Gampu, below)
** '''The Lancer:''' Paul; may also count as a Sixth Ranger, given the episode where he first joins the cast.
** '''The Chick:''' varies between Laura and Adrian, though Laura fits the mold better.
** '''The Big Guy:''' Tee Gar; he isn't the biggest by a long shot, but he is definitely the strongest. By a long shot.
** '''The Smart Guy:''' This one's a little harder, as most of the characters rotated into this role as needed. Generally, though, it was Paul (who is also the Lancer).
** '''The Mentor:''' Gampu, although he frequently takes the lead in the field.

->"Welcome to Man's most magnificent achievement in the conquest of Space: the man-made planetoid Space Academy, founded in the star year 3732!"
-->--''Commander Gampu's OpeningNarration''
'''Space Academy''' was a television series produced in 1977 by Creator/{{Filmation}}, as part of their block of Saturday Morning live-action children's programs on Creator/{{CBS}}. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, the show follows the adventures of a FiveManBand of students at a quasi-military/space-science academy as they encounter {{Negative Space Wedgie}}s, [[EnemyMine enemies-cum-friends]], and other such ''Franchise/StarTrek'' stuff. Ran a single season, but was given a rebirth of sorts in ''Series/JasonOfStarCommand'', in 1979. It's also notable for starring the late Jonathan "Series/LostInSpace" Harris as the Academy's commander, Isaac Gampu. (Harris had earlier appeared in episodes of Filmation's ''Series/{{Ark II}}''.)

* EnemyMine: the Vegan warrior in "Countdown". Technically, the war with the Vegans has been over for a long time, but he's a HumanPopsicle and doesn't know this, so the trope plays out as normal.

* FlashStep: Loki can does it. It's not exactly ChekhovsSkill because Loki rarely uses this talent in any practical context.
* FollowTheLeader: So obvious, we're not even going to provide a pot hole. On the other hand, the non-violent story structure (common to Filmation's live-action shows of the era) sees the series more often borrowing plot elements and themes from ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]''.
* HeelFaceTurn: Most of the villains encountered in this show are, at worst, really {{Anti Villain}}s, and end up turning over the proverbial new leaf by the end credits.
* HumanPopsicle: The Vegan warrior in "Countdown"
* KnowNothingKnowItAll / LeeroyJenkins: Matt Prentiss in "The Cheat".
* MagicalGirl: Laura has vague psychic powers. Sometimes she could use these powers on her own, sometimes she [[WonderTwinPowers needed her twin brother Chris]], and sometimes she needed [[ThePowerOfFriendship all her friends]] to bolster her.
* MeaningfulName: "Loki" is quite a little trickster. And "Tee Gar" is supposed to put one in the mind of a tiger.
* MildlyMilitary:
** About the only indication that this is a military installation are the uniforms, and Gampu's and Chris' respective ranks.
** One episode features [[spoiler:Gampu submitting a letter of resignation]]. Chris is entrusted to send this notice to HQ for him; but Chris presumes that he might reconsider, and does not send it. Gampu later gives Chris a perfunctory dressing down for this 'lapse of duty', but it's abundantly clear he's happy that Chris did what he did.
* OpeningNarration: For once, it's recited not by producer Lou Scheimer, but by star Jonathan Harris.
* PropRecycling: The nose cone of the "Seeker" shuttlecraft was a reuse of the Ark II's nose cone.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Commander Gampu. Oddly, they never explicate what exactly has kept him alive for so long (he seems to be a completely normal human otherwise).
* RobotBuddy: Peepo
* ShortRunner: a whopping 15 episodes.
* StockFootage: [[Creator/{{Filmation}} Naturally]]. On the other hand, its use here is more justifiable; after all, SFX shots like these are a lot more expensive than just filming [[Series/ArkII a pimped-out RV driving around]].
* StuffBlowingUp: The opening title sequence showcases a couple of Space Explosions, for no apparent reason (in the show itself, Stuff rarely Blew Up).
* SuperStrength: Tee Gar. As with Gampu's longevity, this enhanced ability is never explained.
* TitlePlease: Par for the course with most of Filmation's live-action shows.
