Distributor Saban Brands MarVista Entertainment Saban International ( previously ) 20th Television ( formerly ) Release Original network FOX ( Fox Kids ) Original release February 6 ( 1998 - 02 - 06 ) -- November 21, 1998 ( 1998 - 11 - 21 ) Chronology Preceded by Power Rangers Turbo Followed by Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Power Rangers in Space is an American television series and the sixth season of the Power Rangers franchise, based on the Super Sentai series Denji Sentai Megaranger. As with all Power Rangers programs, in Space is based on one of the entries of the Super Sentai series. However, due to miscommunication between the United States and Japan as to the contents of the Sentai series, much of the space footage is original to the American adaptation. In Space was a turning point for the Power Rangers franchise, as the season brought closure to six seasons of plot, and it ended the practice of having regular cast members act in consecutive seasons. The theme of the series bears little similarity to its Sentai counterpart and its successor, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. Though its initial tone was similar to that of Mighty Morphin, Zeo and Turbo, Power Rangers in Space eventually took a darker, more emotional turn. Contents 1 Synopsis 2 Production 3 Characters 3.1 Space Rangers 3.2 Allies 3.3 Villains 3.3. 1 Other villains 4 Episodes 5 References 6 External links Synopsis Picking up where Power Rangers Turbo left off, Dark Specter has captured Zordon and is beginning to completely drain his powers. An assortment of old and new villains praises his victory, but an unexpected figure uncovers his plan : the Red Space Ranger, Andros. Dark Specter orders the new Princess of Evil, Astronema, to eliminate Andros so he ca n't jeopardize his plans. Meanwhile, four of the former Turbo Rangers ( T.J., Cassie, Carlos and Ashley ) and Alpha 6 are traveling in a NASADA space shuttle with the intent to save Zordon. They are pulled aboard the Astro Megaship and later encounter Andros. Though initially suspicious and dismissive of the four former Rangers, Andros realizes he 'll need their help to save Zordon and gives them each an Astro Morpher. Additionally, modifications allow the NASADA space shuttle and the Astro Megaship to combine into the powerful Astro Megazord. The new Space Ranger team then returns to Earth for repairs and supplies, but are followed by Astronema. The Space Rangers alternate between searching for Zordon and protecting Earth. From the Dark Fortress, Astronema seeks to eliminate them via Ecliptor ( who raised her ), Quantrons and a variety of monsters. ( Elgar has also been added to her team, but he remains a comedic bungler. ) Over time, allies ( such as Phantom Ranger, Justin Stewart and Adam Park ) offer the Rangers invaluable aid, with Zhane ( the Silver Space Ranger ) emerging from cryo - sleep and joining the team. New Zords are also introduced. Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull become assistants to eccentric Professor Phenomenus and join him in searching for aliens. While dedicated to finding Zordon, Andros has another quest : finding his sister, Karone, who was kidnapped when they were children. Over time, Andros discovers his sister was kidnapped by Darkonda, an old rival of Ecliptor 's with multiple lives. Much to Andros ' surprise, it turns out that Karone is actually Astronema, who was raised by Ecliptor to be evil. Andros is able to convince Astronema of the truth and she defects with Ecliptor 's help. Unfortunately, just as quickly, she ( along with Ecliptor ) is recaptured and reprogrammed to follow Dark Specter. Astronema becomes more evil than ever, as she not only wants to destroy the Space Rangers, but also Dark Specter. To that end, she unleashes the Psycho Rangers. The five robotic ( and borderline insane ) villains possess great power, which secretly comes from Dark Specter. Every time they fight, Dark Specter is drained of power and grows weaker. Only through a great deal of effort are the six Space Rangers able to overcome the Psycho Rangers. Soon afterward, the Rangers suffer setbacks that see two Megazords destroyed, which are The Mega Voyager and Delta Megazord. Everything culminates in the two - part finale, `` Countdown to Destruction '', where Zordon is nearly completely drained and Dark Specter orders the villains under his command to attack the entire universe. Across the universe, the Alien Rangers, Phantom Ranger, Blue Senturion, the Gold Zeo Ranger and KO - 35 rebels are defeated and captured. The Space Rangers struggle to defend Earth, but are overwhelmed and forced to retreat. Even Zhane and his Zord, the Mega Winger, are no match. Darkonda and Dark Specter destroy each other, leaving Astronema in command as the `` Queen of Evil. '' While Andros boards the Dark Fortress to appeal to his sister, the remaining five Space Rangers engage in one last fight for Earth and are even joined by the citizens of Angel Grove ( with Bulk and Skull leading the charge ). On the Dark Fortress, Andros finds Zordon, who requests his energy tube be shattered. Doing so will release good energy that will destroy the forces of evil and save the universe, but also kill him. Following battles with Astronema and Ecliptor, Andros has no choice but to comply. The many monsters are subsequently turned to dust by the energy wave, while Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, Divatox and Astronema are changed into normal, non-evil humans. With the universe now safe, T.J., Cassie, Carlos, Ashley and Alpha 6 intend to settle down on Earth. Though initially intending to remain on KO - 35 with their people, Andros, Zhane and Karone decide to join their friends on Earth. Production The original pre-bible for in Space, drafted before the start of Power Rangers Turbo second half, was placed online in June 2011. The first half includes synopses of Megaranger episodes, with a mix of Japanese names and intended US names, and a breakdown of how much sentai footage was `` useable '' ; there is a list of weaponry and Zords introduced, how often they appear, and the monsters and how they are destroyed. It then goes on to set out the plans for the in Space adaptation. Both Astronema and Andros were originally absent, with the Phantom Ranger finding out about Dark Specter 's plan instead, and Justin was going to remain in the team. Instead of losing their powers and base at the end of Turbo, the Rangers would be given their space powers by Dimitria ( the Turbo mentor ) so they could head into space and save Zordon. Their spacecraft would have had a limited power supply and could only be recharged by the Power Chamber on Earth, forcing them to keep returning ; otherwise, they would hop from planet to planet, encountering new and returning villains, and picking up clues for Zordon 's whereabouts. Divatox was still going to be the main recurring villain, with Ecliptor as her new second - in - command. Bulk and Skull formed a volunteer Citizen Force Group to try and protect Angel Grove while the Rangers were away. The Silver Ranger was the subject of debate, as Saban were unsure if they wanted to use him. In Space would have seen Carranger villain Exhaus used as Dark Specter - he would instead be the monster Goldgoyle for the end of Turbo. The Rangers were going to have a base in Earth orbit called the new Power Dome : it was to be realized by `` a giant pyramid made of silky material... the walls of silk will change constantly with special effects lights creating the different moods ''. The `` Space Station '' ( Astro Megaship ) interior was going to recycle the Power Chamber set ; footage would be shot for the villain 's `` Evil Platform '' set ahead of time and used as recurring stock footage. This would be the last full season to feature the character of Skull ( Jason Narvy ). Narvy chose to leave the show to continue his college education. He would return briefly in the first episode of the following season, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, so that his character could be written off of the show. He would also return ( along with Paul Schrier ) for the Power Rangers Wild Force episode `` Forever Red ''. In Space was originally written as the final season for the series. In Space however, would end up being an unexpected success and with fan interest returning to the show and the continuation of the series.
