An internal sign reads "Emergency Electrics". This small room, 4 foot square, contains lighted shelving.

All we see of this room is the door and shelves of boxes.

This white octagonal polystyrene box marked "47" and "CORE SCAN" can be seen in the Eagle passenger module in The Last Sunset.

The Taybor

"TOPDUST SPECTROMETER", "STRATA ANALYSIS 0-50 METRES", "DEEP STRATA SCAN"

Explosives Storeroom

The Explosives Storeroom appears in Catacombs of The Moon. The set is a revamp of the Life Support/Power Room, with an observation room. The same set is revamped again in this episode as the Medical Laboratory.

The door sign. Much of the action takes place just inside the door, which must be open. Note the slightly higher "S" in the middle.

The door opens to the corridor. Osgood is hiding behind the corner to the observation room, with the glass of the window reflecting the storage boxes.

Catacombs Of The Moon

We are just inside the life support room. An end wall has been placed just before the central computer bank, the line of which can still be seen in the ceiling. To the right you can see a higher ceiling.

The side panels are illuminated in red. We see the filing drawers in the wall inside the arch.

The back wall extends for just 3 panels (12 ft/3.65m), and we see it bends round into the main power room (all we can see are stacked hexagonal boxes). Tony uses an alarm button by the observation room door.

Catacombs Of The Moon

We don't see much of this wall and door in the episode. The observation room seems to have been obscured.
